Bingo. I created a few autonomous skills that did exactly that for plan review, implementation, and branch review, review autonomously until green.

I was using 100M+ tokens per day, $250 per day or so and only paying $160 per month to GitHub.

I cancelled my GHCP sub and switched to Codex last week, so far so good but I miss Gemini 3.1 Pro for UI work.

And this, right here, is why none of us can have nice, cheap things.

    It was going to happen regardless due to the nature of enshittification. If they really wanted to stop people using 100M tokens a day, they could've prevented it years ago.

    So, silicon valley decides to use their playbook of expand at all costs by burning money to acquire the market (like a carcinoma), and it is the users fault ?

    Should we be blamed about uber destroying the taxi business, or airbnb the hotel one? Oh sorry, "disrupting".

    Uber was dirt cheap, now it is the same price as taxis, and the people working for it (the "partners", not employees) have no social benefits.

    Airbnb was cheap and humane, now it is THE cause for housing crises and massive residential property "investment".

    The playbook of silicon valley is destructive, not disruptive.

    It is by design aimed towards wealth accumulation. The ones with most money can capture the market, and make even more. It really is late stage capitalism.

    And the more wealth inequality there is, the more pain, poverty and instability will be as well. AI will only exacerbate this.

      Uber and Airbnb are not autonomous robots.

      If people wouldn't use their services, nothing would happen. They would just go bankrupt.

      So yeah, I'd say it's entirely people's fault. Because people just wanted to use their services without thinking what they're causing.

      Customers who think only about themselves and noone else.

Yeah it was crazy. Nowadays I use pi with OpenAI GPT 5.4/5.5, which to me seems both better and more generous than Claude. I supplement it with OpenCode Zen to get access to a bunch of models at token cost, and OpenCode Go ($10/mo) to get subscription-style access to Kimi, GLM and friends.
