Building a Mac app with Claude code

> I've been building software for the Mac since 2008

Ok, so they knew where Claude went wrong and could correct for it.

And at the bottom it’s revealed that this costs $200/month. I have trouble convincing myself to give Autodesk $50/month and I need that software for my primary hobby.

And none of these AI companies are profitable. Imagine how much it will cost or how much it will be enshittified when the investors come looking for their returns.

If everyone whose code illegally trained these models won a copyright lawsuit against Claude it would suddenly not be so good at writing swift code.

Do we really want to bet on Disney losing their AI lawsuit?

Honestly I realize my comment is not adding much to the discussion but the AI fatigue is real. At this point I think HN and other tech forums would do well to ban the topic for posts like this.

Imagine if we were upvoting stories about how people are getting lots of coding done easier with Google and StackOverflow. It would be rightfully ridiculed as vapid content. Ultimately that’s what this blog post is. I really don’t care to hear how yet another dingus “programmer” is using AI to do their hobby/job for them.

Google's gemini-cli offers the most generous current free tier, 2500 daily requests. I'd recommend checking it out, since mostly everything said about Claude Code applies to it too
