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.

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 :)
