I think I do quite the same as you, complex features, not anything basic.

Google's Argon model via antigravity is unusable, for a small code review I asked, already spent like 10% of the weekly usage, in less than 10 mins. Very useless imho.

I always find DS or Qwen to be very spot on on audit changes or plans for just a few cents.

I'm baffled, my $20 is enough for me to do some consulting, personal projects and side work, and still cannot outran my quotas, I'm building different kind of things: flutter apps, dotnet backend, database, front end, architecture diagrams, code exploration, tests, PowerShell scripts.

How people spend more than 200 usd monthly is beyond my understanding, are you guys so inefficient with the usage? or I am the opposite?

I think this is the clearest example of: exceptions don't make the rules.

Author might be a vibe coder, designer or someone who does not do really heavy and complicated development, maybe some api here and there.

But it is pretty obvious that a very concerned engineer would not allow any of that, for critical systems.

This is an out of touch with reality thing to say. Remember: not everyone has access to unlimited usage/money to spend tokens or the most expensive models with the higher thinking settings, exceptions does not make the rules.

Thanks Stephen for this, it is very rewarding to read something very technical that is not AI slop these days.

These tools are already written in rust.

explain your use case, I always wonder what kind of scenarios people do have, it is something easily solved? it is complicated? what is stopping you?

the thing I really miss when I use magic, is recommended places from Google maps, where to watch certain movie/series, a lot of things like that, where you can infer recommendations based on your location. Kagi might be good to filter everything scored "bad", but makes you work more.

The thing I dislike about OpenCode is the lack of capabilities of their editor, also, resource intensive, for some reason on a VM it chuckles each 30 mins, that I need to discard all sessions, commits, etc.

I don't know if it is bun related, but in task manager, is the thing that is almost at the top always on CPU usage, turns out for me, bun is not production ready at all.

Wish Zed editor had something like BigPickle which is free to use without limits.

Why would I do that? I am entirely good using LLMs like Claude building tools for me. There's no use case for OpenClawthat I am aware of can replace of what I have/need.

I think it makes my point strong, people who uses OpenClaw, might be lazy on how to do things properly with LLMs.

Can we stop all these vibe-coded projects landing on the front page? It is annoying. Just feels like reddit.

Completely agree, HN is mostly anti .NET/C#. It rarely gains attraction, and when it does, people bashes it with unfounded or very outdated info from another era.
