Out of curiosity, how many concurrent users could you get with a hosting setup at that price? If let's say 10% of those 1000 users were using it at the same time would it handle it? What about 30% or 100%?
You made a good point that I didn't think through fully. It's the concurrent user aspect that heavily impacts things. Currently, you'd probably need quite a bit more investment to the point of having a mini data center to do what I'm proposing.
However, we've been seeing advancements in compressing context and capabilities of smaller models that I don't think it'd be too far off to see something like what I'm talking about within the next 5 years.
His opinion is subjective obviously, but as someone who's switched to iphone I still miss the apps I gave up - specifically AntennaPod and OpenTracks. I believe the iphone ecosystem has the advantage that it has higher-paying users which is attractive to developers, but really it's just a matter of there being different market segments and depending on who you are (or who you aspire to be) you might fit better into one than the other.
I'm pretty sure in this case it's anthropic doing the subsidizing because the api and extra usage rates are extremely expensive compared to the usage you get for the lowest subscription level. I pay $28 CAD per month and I'm pretty sure I'd burn through that in a day or two, and I'm not really a power user, I'm just using it to write code like it says on the tin. I seriously doubt there's a large portion of subscribers with low enough monthly usage that they'd save money by switching to the API.
I'm a bit embarassed to admit this but I'm only familiar with Chuck Norris from the recurring memes about him. I think I vaguely knew he was an actor but haven't seen any of the movies that he's in. Which are the one or two best that you would recommend?
Honestly, he kinda is a meme. I wouldn't recommend any of the movies. It's not like you've missed some grand piece of cinema that you have to be ashamed of and must fix it ASAP. It's the sheer volume of mediocre movies and the very distinct role of a guy who always kicks bad guy's asses using karate in all these movies. I mean, the fact that you've never seen something like Walker, Texas Ranger probably just means that you are under 30 years old, but by no means it's good TV series that everyone must see.
Claude code makes it so easy to do things the "right way" that it also makes it really easy for you to let scope creep get out of hand. I have a personal project that I haven't deployed yet that in some ways is way overengineered for its purpose. It's hard to blame the tool though, it's always telling me I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be but I don't listen
I've felt this recently. I've often been bad about scope creep. CC makes it so easy.
On the other hand, I can see these tools getting good enough that scope creep doesn't even matter.
ATM I usually get stuck around the review/verification stage. As in, my code works, I have tested that it works, but it is failing CI or someone left a PR comment. And for each comment I'll have to make sure it makes sense, make the change, test again, and get CI passing again.
In my team we have strict rules for scope creep in pull request. Each one needs to introduce a single thing, not a dozen little refactorings. This helps, but not when you're working alone in a personal project. Maybe you can setup your review agent to help with scope creep?
