3 times cheaper than before, either was always that price and they were over pricing or they are subsidizing again. Just because microsoft says is expensive and uber expend the whole budget
Fast mode is available for Opus 4.8. It's the same model at roughly 2.5x the speed, and we've made it three times cheaper than before.
Turn it on with /fast in Claude Code. On the API, contact your account manager to request access or join the waitlist: https://t.co/5SLFF77Whn
Technology is always divided in 2 things
- who knows how to use the technology
- who knows how to build technology
And so far no one pays you to know how to use a phone
You might believe you should spend less time thinking about code because of AI.
I strongly disagree! We’re watching this play out live where tons of AI generated code becomes a liability.
At the end of the day, an engineer needs to be responsible / on call for code that gets shipped to production. If you don’t understand the system you’re trying to debug, you’re probably going to have a bad time.
Yes, AI can help with all of this, if you set up the proper systems. You can have agents triage prod logs, look at errors, etc. You can speed up parts of the investigation, but an engineer needs to make the call. There might be serious customer or financial implications from that change.
I expect the trend continue for trimming dependencies, vendoring code so you can modify it directly, preferring simpler systems with fewer abstractions, and spending waaaay more time thinking about system design and code maintenance.
I’ve said this before, but it’s a great time to get familiar with CS fundamentals and some of the history behind what great software looks like. Many parts will be different in the coming years as AI progresses, but also a lot more than people realize will stay the same.
Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10+ years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored).
If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update!
I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it.
Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.
@powerhdeleon Justo ayer tenia una conversacion con mi jefe, donde decia que ahora puede crear apps en un dia…solo pense entonces “show me the clients”, “show me the output”
@JessLinuxera Creo que debe ser un balance, mucho codigo con AI, pero la logica tiene que cambiarse manualmente…el codigo de hoy solo son ifs, functions con arrow functions, class con functional programming… sin hablar de los design patterns que tambien son mezclados
Pero todo eso hoy es…
