Spending Too Much Money on a Coding Agent

I get a lot of value out of Claude Max at $100 USD/month. I use it almost exclusively for my personal open source projects. For work, I'm more cautious.

I worry, with an article like this floating around, and with this as the competition, and with the economics of all this stuff generally... major price increases are on the horizon.

Businesses (some) can afford this, after all it's still just a portion of the costs of a SWE salary (tho $1000/m is getting up there). But open source developers cannot.

I worry about this trend, and when the other shoe will drop on Anthropic's products, at least.
