I get pretty good results with Claude code, Codex, and to a lesser extend Jules. It can navigate a large codebase and get me started on a feature in a part of the code I'm not familiar with, and do a pretty good job of summarizing complex modules. With very specific prompts it can write simple features well.

The nice part is I can spend an hour or so writing specs, start 3 or 4 tasks, and come back later to review the result. It's hard to be totally objective about how much time it saves me, but generally feels worth the 200/month.

One thing I'm not impressed by is the ability to review code changes, that's been mostly a waste of time, regardless of how good the prompt is.

Company expectations are higher too. Many companies expect 10x output now due to AI, but the technology has been growing so quick that there are a lot of people/companies who haven't realized that we're in the middle of a paradigm shift.

If you're not using AI for 60-70 percent of your code, you are behind. And yes 200 per month for AI is required.

We've been trialing code rabbit at work for code review. I have various nits to pick but it feels like a good addition.
