Everyone should do the calculation for themselves. I too pay for couple of subs. But I'm noticing having an agent work for me 24/7 changes the calculation somewhat. Often not taken into account: the price of input tokens. To produce 1K of code for me, the agent may need to churn through 1M of tokens of codebase. IDK if that will be cached by the API provider or not, but that makes x5-7 times price difference. OK discussion today about that and more https://x.com/alexocheema/status/2020626466522685499
