Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

I don't understand. Everybody keeps telling me that LLMs are easily capable of replacing pretty much every software developer on this planet. And now they complain that $71 a day (or even $200 a month) is too much for such amazing tech? /s

@HedyL
I guess it was never about the software developers and what they do. It's just about saving money.

Compare a $2,400/yr subscription with the average annual software developer's salary of ~$125,000/yr.
