Prepackaged pasta sauces and cake mix. Worse than making it from scratch but enables people with no time to cook more dishes.

Doordash is more like paying someone else to code for you. Luckily that will soon be a thing of the past.

I suggest you stop paying Anthropic, and see how much code gets written. You're absolutely paying someone else to do it for you.
I pay Google £15/month and have never hit the usage limit. But thanks anyway.

edit: I think you might mean vibe coding (and those infamous things that use millions of tokens with no limit) but for programmers using LLMs to code is literally just a tool like anything else and the cost is barely relevant. It's not comparable to contracting out code, and it's not even comparable to eating out in terms of cost!
