yeah, the base $20/month subscription is pathetic. but the $80 pro sub is giving me more service than $200 got me with cursor.
i guarantee you, if i can't use up their pro subscription, neither can you. i've never spent so many hours working on code since 2019, when i was taking amphetamine and smoking weed all day long building an upgrade for a bitcoin fork called parallelcoin.
what i will say though is it helps a lot to have a good grounding in the things you expect claude to do for you, so you can correct it, and it takes some experience to learn what the typical fuckups are for this model. cursor's composer model is probably about on par but a lot more expensive. maybe composer does a tiny bit less dumbshit. probably it was trained partly by using claude as a trainer.
