It seems there is very large disconnect forming between what AI models cost to run and what users are willing to spend.
When I can end up paying upwards of $5-25 for a single prompt and not even get a correct response that's unacceptable.
4 small feature requests with my Squad using Github Copilot. burned up almost all my tokens in about an hour... ๐คฏ
Based upon this, I would assume a $20+/hour burn rate to keep using Squad, which is not sustainable for side projects that don't earn profit.
@mitchelsellers@github I haven't touched my copilot today but I'm about to go sit down and try run a heavy Squad session. I fully expect to burn up my tokens in a flash. ๐ค
ok here's where AI drives me batty! My team of agents are capable of building an entire e2e test in playwright of some deep app functionality, but I just realized it couldn't manage to properly wire up the login page correctly and any password was treated as valid! WTF ๐คฆ
Now live: $DCR
@decredproject combines Proof-of-Work mining with Proof-of-Stake voting and on-chain governance โ stakeholders directly approve consensus changes and decide how the project's treasury is funded.

@mkristensen while I disagree with the tone, they aren't wrong in the feeling of frustration with what is branded a premium dev tool and expensive product we paid for is always several steps behind the free vs code in this feature area.
@chrispfarrell yeah that's my worry. Microcenter has a couple Intel Arc Pro B70 (32gb) gpus in stock for $1000 right now. Supposed to be pretty good for AI and I'm kind of temped to bite the bullet and get one.
Pricing out the cost for a potential dedicated AI LLM server. The biggest hangup right now is there seems to be very little info out there on real world performance /usability of different GPUs.
To be clear I've seen lots of benchmarks but I'd love to see some actual devs report
Boy am I POed. the domain name I wanted was magically bought yesterday after I checked to see if it was free.
Interestingly both the .com and
.dev were taken. I didn't even look for the .dev so some algorithm must have decided I might try that as a fallback.
So I went with .io
@lovelacecoding Personally, $10 for a Copilot Pro sub for my side projects and goofing off.
I do have Windsurf sub paid by work, not sure how much I'm racking up in overages but no one's complaining yet ๐คฃ
Starting to look at running local LLMs but i need some hardware upgrades first.
@MorePhorUs@DataChaz of course! I've just started dabbling with squad but I really like the concept and the workflow. currently i'm just working with my "team" building out tons of documentation tonight.
Using Squad to setup a full team to start building my latest side-hustle. funny how I feel like I'm in a chat with another human as I have my virtual tech lead iterate over our planning docs so we can prepare to spin up a sprint.

My tech lead assumed we would be deploying to azure so much of the initial architecture / infrastructure planning was around that. had to correct it that we would be self hosting with containers on a Linux server and it spent almost 10 minutes rewriting the all the docs
