I cancelled my Claude Code subscription (after a month). Part of it is the (now reverted) drama about Anthropic cutting access to OSS 3rd party apps (gray area here). But the biggest reason is that it works too well, and I don't want to depend on a non-OSS, locking-in tool that much. 🧵

I signed up for the $20/month Pro plan on Christmas Eve, to try it for the @nuqs.dev e2e migration from Cypress to Playwright. I did some of the initial work myself, and let it grind for the rest. It did a good job. But the real 🤯😱 moment was building the EQ & Compressor audio playground.

I never had a Claude subscription, while I do use AI almost daily, especially for my side projects. But if you want something as good as Claude, my advice goes to GLM 4.7 that also has a an incredibly cheap cost and with the first year discount it is just a no-brainer 😅

I've never had any subscriptions for any AI vendors. Microsoft gifts me Copilot and I just learned that also means access to some Claude models (I can switch, apparently). I feel like I have better uses for $200/mo, if I had extra.
