> the value of code is very low

Good front-end code is still expensive. Do you think ChatGPT/Anthropic/Meta/etc. can claim industry leading front-ends on their webapps or desktop apps? Why have they not reached parity with all their smaller competitors if it's all just code.

There's also new serverless platforms constantly being funded nowadays; if code is so cheap why doesn't everyone just whip an LLM to go build their own version? Only bad code is low value.

But that aside, $30 per month is questionable.
