Cancelled my claude subscription over it. Opencode is miles ahead of any coding tools. Will stick to using it rather than claude.
Other models / other ways to access claude exists.
That said, Anthropic nerfed those plans pretty hard a few days ago. Imagine more to come, much like gh copilot is basically useless now. Literally having it write docs for a single function in an unfamiliar codebase spent 1% of my monthly "premium requests" allowance. Agent is terrible compared to Claude Code in my experience, even when using the same model (Sonnet 4)
They actually have a very similar setup with their plus and pro plans. They don’t claim unlimited usage, but say it should be very high. You don’t need to pay per token.
I just said something similar in another comment on this thread. I'm not interested in the mental aspect of getting charged per query. I feel like when I use pay-per-token tools, it's always in the back of my mind. Even if it's a bit more expensive to pay a flat rate, it's so worth it for the peace of mind.
Looks like i’m in one of those minorities who like going to office. My major point is those spontaneous interactions that i have with my colleagues that gives me a lot of ideas. With work from home all those are gone. Hate commuting to office. An ideal world would be walk to office and have a hybrid model like 2-3 days in office for me.
I have the same and I don't think we're a (small) minority, at least not in the company where I work.
Almost everyone on my team comes in 2 or 3 times a week. We have some meetings, great (free) lunch, work together on some things, crack lots of jokes and get to informally chat about things you don't easily schedule a call for (how you're doing, how you feel things are going in the team, in the company, in life in general - the under current that doesn't get visible easily).
It of course helps that my commute is 25 minutes and that our office space is only for our team. There is a natural ebb and flow to when people get loud and active, and when we're burried in our screens cracking a problem, so you also get to be productive.
I do work from home as well. I really like that I have the freedom to balance wfh and wfo.
> Many believe that the incidental, physical interaction that occurs between people at the office is superior to the conversations that take place on video calls and Slack.
I didn't believe it and when I started going in to scope things out, I started believe it. I think what happens here is the author of each individual article will have had a specific set of experiences and that's the assumption they make for everyone. IME I don't see how the incidental conversations happen remotely, everyone is eager to get off calls, as there can be so many it becomes draining. So clearly me and my colleagues are missing some key ingredient that's probably obvious to everyone else.
A lot of folk need the social interaction of work, while other just want to do the job and that's it. Dealing with people constantly is exhausting for some of us.
Even though I could WFH most days, I go to the office whenever I can. The point is exactly in being away from home and its distractions. It's much easier to concentrate when in an office.
I worked from home for years, on and off, so I can definitely compare.
It’s only a minority opinion in tech. Every non tech worker I’ve spoken to says they wouldn’t want to work entirely remote. Most people do not desire that level of social isolation.
Yeah, that's a lot more work and required tools than just taking something out of a shop. A lot easier to get busted too if you're walking around with those tools.
Can't they provide an anycast ip's like fly.io does to all their customers.
Most of the things are anyhow behind dns entries and i doubt people direct hit IP addresses.
In India, cost of running a petrol car is almost 7x that of a electric car. Where i live, the electricity rate is like 7 rs/kwh and gasoline rate is like 100 rs/l.
My earlier gasoline car had an running rate of like 10km/l which turns out to be 10Rs/km price point. While, in an EV, i get like 250 kms minimum on full charge with a 40 kWh battery which is like 1.12 Rs/km. Also simpler maintainance in an EV and much more easier to drive. No vibration and an almost silent drive. Whats there not to like. Not sure why people hate on EV so much here. Even when i use fast chargers in india, the rate is 21 rs/kwh. Which is still 3 times cheaper than using a gasoline car. For reference, the cars were Petrol -> Honda city and EV -> Tata nexon EV Max.
The numbers are based on daily drive in city traffic for 40kms of drive daily.
I charge at home every 4-5 days using the standard 15A-250V socket that is present in every single indian home. So, no matter where i go, i am able to find a socket to charge my car.
Whether its a hotel/airbnb/friend's place
Lithium is not the only technology for storing energy at large scale.
We have multiple options. I believe one strong point of lithium is the ability to respond almost instantaneously to changing demands which other technologies are still not that good at.
