@nightmaaan Nice!

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

Copilot is now dead to me

Which subscription(s) should I replace it with?

I primarily use opencode using Codex 5.3 (high/xhigh) as my go to model.

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@GTsolakides Sometimes I use vs code but mostly opencode or cli tools

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@dylanvdmerwe Using OpenAI sub?

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@code_tank_dev I’m normal quite specific on my changes. Broad changes I’ve always had issues with any model after the project isn’t tiny.

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@nickchapsas Cancelling my renewal.

What do you recommend Nick?

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@wagslane I think the bigger issue is how we create monetized content.

Blogs? Why when it's taken and regurgitated by AI overview

Business site? Why not have an LLM file with your content, don't need a design if it's all bots

The incentive structure is not sustainable right now

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

🤣 hahaha so true

[Peter Dedene @dedene]

POV: you're still using GitHub Copilot after June 1st, 2026

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@DanielW_Kiwi Too many pies, I'm sure they aren't gluten free

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@MePeterNicholls Yeah I used it quite a lot last last year and earlier this year. Could have gotten more out of it for sure but got my monies worth.

How do you find GLM? I generally found them worse than codex (my primary model) and slowish. 5.3 codex is fast now

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

Well the new github copilot pricing change has made it go from the best subscription for AI to... last.

It was too good before but this is not going to work and feels more like a rugpull.

I'm probably not the customer they want anymore so no loss but it will impact the brand

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@MePeterNicholls Yeah it's craaazy how different it is from before.

I cannot see myself keeping it anymore, better options out there

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

Always check that the API's your using with AI code is the real thing.

Just had the AI change to the easier but terrible option (external api) for some data .

Also seen a lot of slopware that is abusing other API's services and just break from hitting limits. They didn't check.

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@nbevans @kenrt_ Yeah it’s a bit of a sad reality and I’m trying to cut back a bit as full slop

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@DanielW_Kiwi Quick responses are overrated enjoy your life

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@s4rah_dev @DanielW_Kiwi Yeah we did the same, bigger house is bigger bills too

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@DanielW_Kiwi This is a common trap then people whinge they have no money.

Yeah no shit you bought a house that was probably okay but then add nice car and furniture/landscaping to match.

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@DanielW_Kiwi Yeah the LLMs are fairly good at F# now.

The feedback loop is what makes it and others like it so good as it catches bugs before finishing the loop

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

@DanielW_Kiwi Went bread and pasta free for many years. Really don’t miss it.

I have very limited amounts now mostly when eating out.

Replacement foods just aren’t the best, find new meals to eat that are good for you and cheat (if you can) occasionally

[Matt Blacker 🦔 @mjblacker]

Amazing work guys!

Now to figure out how to upgrade my projects.

[Fable Compiler 🇺🇦 #StandWithUkraine @FableCompiler]

Fable 5 has been released 🎉

This is the result of almost 1 year and a half of work from the community and the maintainers.

Huge thank you to everyone involved. ❤️
