Man, I decided to try DS with a healthy dose of skepticism.

I canceled ChatGPT because I would be on vacations. Codex was pretty great, but I thought "Let me put 10 bucks on Deepseek API and plug it into Claude Code".

I was completely blown away. I found it even better than Claude or Codex. And those 10 bucks? It lasted for more than a month.

I don't see myself coming back to Claude/OpenAI.

Agreed. I’ve cancelled all plans except OpenCode Go. OpenRouter for API spend. Feels so nice to a) not feel like I have to code when I don’t want to just because I need to make my subscription worth the cost and b) know that this level of performance won’t be yanked away. Super pleased with DeepSeek V4 Pro.
