Spending Too Much Money on a Coding Agent

I really hope we can avoid metered stuff for the long-term. One of the best aspects of software development is the low capital barrier to entry, and the cost of the AI tools right now is threatening that.

I'm fortunate in that my own use of the AI tools I'm personally paying for is squished into my off-time on nights and weekends, so I get buy with a $20/month Claude subscription :).

It's pretty damn capital intensive to be a productive farmer today. That said, AI will likely, hopefully, get cheaper over time.
