You’re forgetting the “economics” part of the argument. Let’s assume that you are actually producing better code than say Opus 5.5. You’re probably slower, you very likely have less “stamina,” and you probably cost more than 200x more per month than a $20 subscription.
You’d have to be pretty unbelievably stellar to produce code 200x better than Opus. I can get a lot of business value out of not-great $20/mo coding. The people writing our checks do not care about the same things we care about.
And I say this as someone who is very upset about what this stuff is doing to my career and hobby.
