alt Hacker News People who are saying they're not seeing productivity boost, can you please share where is it failing?
I'm going to guess that many people on HN are also on the "free ChatGPT isn't that good at programming" train.

Not everyone has the capability to rent out data center tier hardware to just do their job. These things require so much damn compute you need some serious heft to actually daisy chain enough stages either in parallel or deep to get enough tokens/sec for the experience to go ham. If you're making bags o' coke money, and deciding to fund Altman's, Zuckernut's or Amazon/Google's/Microsoft's datacenter build out, that's on you. Rest of us are just trying to get by on bits and bobs we've kept limping over the years. If opencode is anything to judge the vibecoded scene by, I'm fairly sure at some point the vibe crowd will learn the lesson of isolating the most expensive computation ever from the hot loop, then maybe find one day all they needed was maybe something to let the model build a context, and a text editor.

Probably that's the reason why some people are sure their job is still safe.
Nature of job is changing rapidly
Which one would you recommend as the best right now? Claude Code?
