Claude Code works fairly well, but Anthropic has lost the plot on the state of market competition. OpenAI tried to buy Cursor and now Windsurf because they know they need to win market share, Gemini 2.5 pro is better at coding than their Sonnet models, has huge context and runs on their TPU stack, but somehow Anthropic is expecting people to pay $200 in API costs per functional PR costs to vibe code. Ok.

  $200 per PR is significantly cheaper development than businesses are paying.

    In terms of short-term outlay, perhaps. But don't forget to factor in the long-term benefits of having a human team involved.

  3.5 was amazing for code, and topped benchmarks for months. It'll take a while for other models to take over that mental space.
