#532This is exactly what happens with all agentic products in near future. Demand is way higher than supply right now. Also most programmers do not use agents yet so demand will grow even more. Building data centers is not easy and price of HW is skyrocketing.

#533Some top tier PR yet again... does Claude run their PR team on its own?

#535The $20 plan showed me how good Claude Code was, and now I'm paying $100/month. I never would have paid $100 just to try out Claude Code.
Many, including me tried the $100 just to try Opus (wasn’t available of pro before) and first thing I thought was “worth it”
Let’s say my trust level and appreciation for the product for the past month had a big negative hit for me

#536I don't think I've ever been on such a rollercoaster with a company's reputation in the developer space. I started in January on the $20 plan, essentially my first agentic AI programming. I quickly started hitting limits developing several apps at the same time. I went up to the $200 plan after seeing the value. After seeing my own issues with 4.6 and the mega-post on Github about declining metrics in a decent datase…
> I can't understand removing Claude Code from $20. I'm interested to see whether this is confirmed or not.
Anthropic bleeds money per user. No matter if it's the $20 or $200 plan, every Claude Code user is unprofitable.
The only way to not bleed money is to eventually move everyone to API pricing. Hiring a personal senior engineer will likely be cheaper.

A fraction of them do. Many just use whatever the employer provides to get their job done. HN users only represent a small sample of the overall software developers which is nowhere nearly enthusiastic about new things. Source: what I witnessed at my company
In the end, companies are made of individuals. In my previous company, I'm one of the individual who advocate for Claude Code adoption. Amongst my circle too, most who have the authority to make an impact on the AI direction. Safe to say I no longer suggest Anthropic to anyone anymore.

#538Why is management at Anthropic trying so hard to ruin their reputation with developers? I missed the OpenClaw hype but it was something that kept me excited about my yearly subscription. It makes no sense to do one of the higher tier plans unless they are directly generating you money.
They got contracts from Enterprises now

#539I would love someone to play devil's advocate against this perspective: While these tools stand to enable the democratization of productive capability in software engineering and other tasks (creating a renaissance for solopreneurs, let's say), what seems more likely to actually happen is that entrenched capital will become the only player with real access to this "knowledge as a utility" (was it Altman who called it…
Not only because of cost. Mythos has only been released to some of the big tech players because it's "too dangerous" [0] for us little people. It's easy to see this becoming a permanent position; the latest models and smarts are reserved for establishment members only, the riff-raff get the cast-offs. So the establishment is preserved and the status quo protected. [0] I'm putting scare/irony quotes around this, but i…
Brother, you are falling for marketing speak.

I can’t say I’ve used it extensively enough to draw a conclusion, but it did seem similar to GPT 5.4 in Codex. When I threw it at a difficult issue in an iOS app, it like GPT came up with wrongly guessed explanations. It only found the issue after I had it instrument the app and add extensive logs. Usually GPT 5.4 is the same. Only that with GPT 5.4 it’s at least included in my subscription, while sending 3-4 message…

At that point I can’t help but bring up how much more expensive it is. Rest assured OpenAI won’t want to leave that kind of money on the table…
There’s also still Google with their TPUs, xAI has some large models in the works, not to mention China.
With that much competition and ongoing improvements, I don’t have such a pessimistic view on future usage limits and cost.
