As much as people on Hacker News complain about subscription models for productivity and creativity suites, the open arms embrace of subscription development tools (services, really) which seek to offload the very act itself makes me wonder how and why so many people are eager to dive right in. I get it. LLMs are cool technology. Is this a symptom of the same phenomenon behind the deluge of disposable JavaScript fram…

I haven't seen anyone claim that applies to infrastructure or compute.

Since apparently LLMs have also conquered physics, “Claude, transmute this lead to gold for me.”

Yeah, it's almost like the point I was making is that everyone is overselling AI agents' capabilities.

I was vacationing! What's up with OpenAI now? Asking with some morbid curiosity tbh.

Codex switched to paid API tokens only. Not to mention their alignment with the department of war.

They’re still doing subscriptions: https://developers.openai.com/codex/pricing

Alternatively, the elephant in the room I'm surprised no one wants to talk about: the vibe coding is catching up with them.

That's not an elephant in the room.. it's just proof of how insanely useful the tool is and the reality that so much more hardware is needed. Thus people saying "why are these companies building insanely large data centers" ... this is why!

The problem is that vibe-coding, when it fails (i.e. it's non-useful, at least for a bit), is usually solved by more vibes. Try again and hope it works. Ask it to refactor and hope the cleaner code helps it along. If you're willing to think about the code yourself you'll likely ask it questions about the codebase. High vibe-code usage is both a metric that it is working and that it's failing.

Isn't the whole selling point of AI agents that you now can do things like scale 3x without scaling your team accordingly?

I haven't seen anyone claim that applies to infrastructure or compute.

Implying that software is somehow divorce from Infrastructure/compute efficiency and utilization isn't a claim I've seen many make either.

That is only true if there's a pricepoint that vibecoders are willing to pay per token that allows Anthropic to make a profit.

I really enjoy coding. I've build a number of projects, personal and professional, with Python, Rust, Java and even some Scala in the mix. However, I've been addicted to Claude Code recently, especially with the superpowers skill. It feels like I can manifest code with my mind. When developing with Claude, I am presented with design dilemmas, architectural alternatives, clarification questions, things that really mak…

I feel this sentiment. It’s more like pair programming with someone both smarter and dumber than you. If you’re reviewing the code it is putting down, you’re likely to spot what it’s getting wrong and discussing it.

What I don’t understand, are the people who let it go over night or with whole “agent teams” working on software. I have no idea how they trust any of it.

Yep, I want to make stuff. Writing the code by hand was just a means to an end.

No one is going to like this answer, but there’s a simple solution: pay for API tokens and adjust your use of CC so that the actions you have it take are worth the cost of the tokens. It’s great to buy dollars for a penny, but the guy selling em is going to want to charge a dollar eventually…

it's not a subsidy. It's predatory pricing and it should be illegal. I offer you a service at a loss to remove competition and then increase prices once you are stuck with it.

Actually, that is illegal.
