I do hit them, but it takes quite a bit. > I have trouble convincing myself to give Autodesk $50/month and I need that software for my primary hobby. Before I used Claude Code, I absolutely would have agreed with you, $100–$200 every month is just a ridiculous amount for any software. After using Claude Code... yeah, that's just how darn good it is! > Imagine if we were upvoting stories about how people are getting lots of coding done easier with Google and StackOverflow. You know, something I've thought about before (as in, before LLMs) is just how hard (impossible?) it would be for me to program without an internet connection. I'm constantly Googling stuff. I can absolutely imagine that if I was a programmer before widespread internet use, and the internet launched with things like Google and lots of resources out of the gate... yeah, that would be revelatory! I'm not saying AI is necessarily the same, but it's something to think about. |
No we are going to have a haves and haves not situation where the poor kid who wants to get a better job and get out of poverty is competing with the dude who has a $100-200/month AI subscription writing code for him.
