alt Hacker NewsEh? Is the average developer paying 200$ a month?
I mean, I imagine some top% vibe coding bros paying 200$. I would require some serious evidence that the average developer pays for it.
I certainly wouldn't. It's moderately useful, but not 200$/mo useful.

People forgot the price of full msdn back in the day or any "SDK", Low code shit etc.
And I doubt someone can have the cognitive load to follow 10 Claude max. Let alone 1.

The "average" in the YC microcosm, I assume.
My work pays for the $200 sub for me. At work in a typical 5h slot I tend to use 35~40% of the usage limit, so the $100 sub wouldn’t let me keep my current workflow and AI usage but I am more often than not using 2x the $100 sub. We’ll see if they keep paying for this or not, because we are not yet sure if using AI like this is sustainable and worth the tech debt of moving faster
