Like if I had to choose between Claude Code and income -12k USD, I would most certainly work the extra hours without it.
But it looks like in the US, you would need to be self employed or own a business where it is an expense. Which is a bummer.
If PRs dropped by 95% then you'd have to work 20 times more hours to compensate. If you work 2 hours per week it's doable but if more than it's strenuous to impossible.
IMO, $500 a month is pretty good for most dev work if you select models appropriately for the task (yourself), especially with how token efficient Opus 5.5 medium is. Unfortunately, people with subscription seats can easily get addicted to Fable, higher effort, fast mode, etc.
there is something in there, and im quite sure someday it will bubble up to the surface and people will be sour. people who use claude that is.
yes, its just a hunch. but i can see these tactics, and u cant tell me its just corporate policies that were whoopsiedaisy. They are getting more from people using claude code than other harnesses, enough to ban and fearmonger people into not using those other harnesses.
the reason will be $ related. Likely their tooling wastes tons of tokens.
now, codex is also a bit wasteful ofc. (very much). but they dont mind u optimizing and rolling ur own.
This feels very much like FUD without you putting some details on the table.

assert_eq foo, bar if foo == bar[BUG] Claude Code Exploit: Claude Code Becomes an Unwitting Executor #45951 https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/45951
More details, please.
AFAICT it’s pretty much already a commodity. DeepSeek 4.1 has similar results for a fraction of the price.
probably walk away to whatever the second best option Copilot …
my speculation- i would surprise if Claude will win the deal back over time. however the longer Copilot and Deepseek or whatever stays the less like the reverse win is possible
What edge do you expect to have? Your competition will be using the same models as you are. Anytime one model takes over another people just migrate to the new one, you can get a small edge for maybe a few days if you're first to migrate, but that's not something meaningful to differentiate yourself
I think most of ya'll drive those 70's gas guzzling death machines while honda, toyotas, etc are right around the corner to eat your lunch because, man, these low rate models absolutely cook.
If you think the quality of your outputs is even close to the same, well, you weren’t paying attention or actually using whatever you wrote.
Please stop spreading nonsense as it baits others into thinking open source is good. It just isn’t. It’s too expensive and crap quality compared to closed source.
Btw this was also true even when kimi K3 and GLM 5.3 came out and open source was 3-4 months behind instead.
Who are you bro? Youre nobody! Get back in your place.
Here, the submission relates to the "Anthropic Long Term Benefit Trust"
There are comments about Claude subscription price, Claude CLI versus GUI, other coding agents, etc.
There are comments about data center PR, SRTs being used to manage data center financing risks, proposed legislation on data center tax breaks, etc.
Not much discussion of the trust
I have no idea what you work with, but for every single programming job I had in more than 2 decades, from the lamest consultancy to FAANG, you don't need the Edge. DeepSeek probably could do everything I needed.
Would I pay for LLMs? Sure, but not much more than 30-50 bucks range per month. I can affort 1k/m, but no way in hell I would accept it. I would rather just not use LLMs (it's not like I actually need them).
sounds like a slop fest was going on, the quality will probably improve now
