This is why you should not install any of the vibe coded apps that get advertised in here regularly. You’re just creating a liability for yourself.

2030 is only a couple years away ;).
IMHO, $4-5k for a computer that can code as much you want is a bargain. If you have a product that will sell.
Conspiracy is right, the bubble is real and they will keep it pumping til it burst. Llms are not the second coming. They are great tools, but they are not solution for everything.
This economical milestone will be really “interesting” in the next 10 years. Interesting as the Chinese curse for wishing you interesting life.
That assumes prices actually come down.
On purely dollar costs, $5K for a coding / AI only PC doesn’t amortise vs subscription or API access. Not for occasional shenanigans anyways.
I’ve done the calcs, because I wanted to justify the indulgence and the numbers dont stack up. Yet.
Of course, I based that on current rates. If basic subs go to $50/month, exclude coding agents, and API skyrockets…well fuck, I’ll go back to modding and retro gaming. I still remember how to code in ARexx, BlitzBasic etc and I keep threatening to make an Amiga or C64 stuff…there are other rabbit holes :)
