How are you adapting your usage of Github Copilot now that the price is going dramatically up. If you're not using GitHub Copilot, what alternatives are you using? According to the preview tool, my $72 in April will now cost $536 in June. What do?

>>108830186Sorry I'd like to keep my brain without rot
bump for serious discussion. in my case I am reluctantly looking into optimizing my usage. It feels bad. The era of practically free AI is over. I was just getting used to it and making good money. Anyone else in the same boat right now? It seems like all AI's have been nerfed recently in one way or another.
luddite cope thread, id sell my home to buy more agi tokens
>>108830243but I like money
why not use claude or chatgpt codex
>>108830186>>108830334>>108830355sloppers will never get rich because they spend everything they have on tokens lmao, you people are pathetic
>>108830398I actually didn't realize until I saw this comment that since I am already paying for ChatGPT that I can add it to my IDE as well. Thanks boss. I guess I needed to talk to someone else about this. As for claude, it's a bit expensive compared to how Github Copilot was.
>>108830741>sloppers will never get richit's not about getting rich as much as it is just having some faster side gig money. it was nice but let's be clear-eyed about expectations.
>>108830797you have to try really fucking hard to run out of usage on the $200 codex plan
>>108830810this gives me hope. will be trying this tonight
>>108830186I use Gemini to write scripts. I find that I used to have to create new sessions otherwise it will forget parts of my code when I ask for new features or fixes, but the other day I had a long session and it was working fine. I like Gemini the most, followed by Qwen (thinking) and then Copilot (thinking and normal are both fine )
>>108830186>AI coding is more expensive than coding by handI'm very excitedly looking forward to being told that nobody ever said that AI would be less expensive than paying programmers and actually it's still a good thing anyway even if programmers aren't replaced and the whole thing costs more.
>>108830186>at the start of my shiftpost hand
>>108830809>side gig moneyI see threads from vibe sloppers every day on plebbit crying that their newest slopped shit app has visitors but nobody is buying the product, every.single.day.I very much doubt people are making any money right now, maybe they did in the beginning but not anymore.
>>108830860>> he doesn't realize not everyone talks/speaks the way he doespost your hand and i'll post mine you faggot jew. let's see.
>>108830973>I very much doubt people are making any money right nowyour entire response here is very truthy but for those of us who had coding side gigs beforehand, it is a jackpot
>>108830228
>>108830824>have to create new sessions otherwise it will forget parts of my codeyes this is about managing context. what you can do is tell him to write things down like in a file called CHATLOG.md that is a running chronicle. KNOWLEDGE.md to store the general knowledge, and so forth. When those files get big then you have to break them up and optimize so you can only load what you need to
My company pays for Claude Code. We've been in a slump lately, not much client work coming on. We're just 4 devs, and we let a long-time consultant go. Is this it? Will I finally have to become a plumber or sparky? I'll probably make more money that way, thoughbeit.
>>108831501that sucks. I don't know anything else but IT
>>108831568Ah but if you truly know IT, you can transition to pretty much any field that doesn't need more than 120 IQ. Because the thing tech people understand is not technology: it's how to teach yourself anything by using google.
>>108831764>pretty much any fieldboss i'm not so sure about that. I can't be expected to go on-premise somewhere
>>108830186I use my bro Kimi K for personal stufffor work I just spend all of my company's tokens on claude opus ultramegathink
>>108830186>How are you adapting your usage of Github Copilot now that the price is going dramatically up.I do not care. My employer pays for all those tools.
>>108830973le epic youtuber doing videos about """AI-GENERATED COPY OF MICROSAAS IS MAKING 200K/MONTH!!!" are complete bullshit, of course. if they made that much bank, they wouldn't be doing social media content or encouraging other people to become competition in the first place. we are late on that train, unfortunately
>>108830334Can't you just get the AI to help you build your own free AI?
>>108830186>Github CopilotI tried the free tier and it was absolute garbage so I'm not paying for it.I had better results by just copypasting relevant parts of my code into various free AIs such as deepseek, GLM, kimi, chatgpt, claude, and gemini. All of those, even the free tiers, are better than the absolute garbage you get when you use Copilot.I thought giving it free access to browse the entire source tree would give it an advantage but apparently the model they use is so shitty that it just gets overwhelmed with too much information and starts hallucinating straight away.
>>108833450Apparently if you pay for the deepsneed api you can use deepseek with the vscode copilot plugin. Deepseek has way better pricing and it's a better model too. I'm not interested in spending money on AI shit at the moment but if I were, that's the route I'd go, because of Deepseek's low cost and their pay as you go model (i hate subscriptions that just charge you a fixed amount/month)
>>108833242Assuming you mean Github copilot, I hear you but this is last month's thinking. Your org is looking at the preview right now and getting shocked.You will be told to curb your usage. You will need to lear how to optimize, as I will too.
>>108833372no
>>108833450Boss, you need to get familiar with managing your context. This is the magic of AI usage. This is how you stop the confusion and get work done.
>>108831501Every career has its own lifespan, like it or not. I thought I was dead set for being in vfx but after 10+ years I was done with it. It coincided with the corn virus and the recent AI changes too and the industry is worse than ever before.So think about it that way: unless you are a doctor you are going to need a career change in your life at some point. It's not bad unless you are forced to do something you don't like etc
big oof
>>108835747>managing muh contextthe whole point of AI is that I can dump the whole source code into it and say "i have this bug. find the bug."
>>108835952that's not how it works
>>108835783>unless you are a doctor you are going to need a career change in your life at some pointthis is fair and reasonable
