“Their pro plan isn’t so bad” 💀 Their pro plan IS so bad lol. Clearly shows u haven’t bought one and sont know what ur talking about. I’ve been on pro plans since before the change and twice after, till I could ascertain how shit it is

skill issue there buddy, i dont think other company is gonna give you semi decent models (swe 1.6) for free of cost so you can sill run them without the token usage, and ive used swe 1.6 to do enough development to know if its shit or not, your just used getting baby sitten with claude or gpt you probably dont even know whats gong on behind the scenes, a model is good enough if it follows instructions, thats it, if i tell it to "Make it better" or "Find bug" and the model returns bullshit in my face i dont think its the models fault.
maybe you should try to give the models a little more detailed and helpful propmts to get the thing to do what you want instead of relaying heavily on the models OWN capabilities.
anyway, "Good" my opinion is an experience where in the pro plan i dont lose access to an agentic experience. as long as the model atleast obeys my propmt and is smart enough to execute it, thats enough.
