I would really appreciate a response because I'm sure you know that Anthropic has at least two lower priced tiers before the $200/m one, so I assume the $200/m tier is necessary because you use it heavily? Now given that the

I will start off by saying, yes, the OP is really light on location and painpoints to have a real concrete conversation. I wish there was more detail about the environment and the hypothesis being tested. Then I will say your first senten

The if is doing a lot of heavy lifing there but with that out of the way you do make a strong case about "local first" apps. Nothing beats the simplicity of a simple `cp` but there are other tradeoffs to be made there. That's

I'll do one better. I suggest every developer learn how to replicate, backup and restore the very database they are excited about, from scratch at least once. I propose this will teach them what takes to build a production ready system

In my circles at least, people aren't using Microsoft products on their own. At home they either use Macs or Linux. We grew up compiling Linux kernels when Microsoft was busy spreading FUD about how dangerous it would be to unleash ope
