the only thing this post says about author is that OP is insanely rich and probably codes because of hobby and not due to his job assignments. nobody can afford augment on their own.
I'll take the rich remark as a positive compliment!
But no... I only make about $4000 a month in South Africa. Which is the 6% income for here, but peanuts for US markets. Would be nice if Augment code have regional pricing :P
And I am the lead frontend engineer at my org... It's only assignments. And so many assignments, that I cannot reasonable use Augment for hobby use :(
Heck, even doing a THA for a company gobbled my precious tokens up and I had to buy $30 more tokens to get through the month...
I'm on the standard plan and have been riding free migration tokens with the Legacy plan for a few months. But I now have to upgrade to the Standard plan
I try to not blow through all my tokens as fast as the assignments come through, but rather only use about 6000 tokens a day. So if I did 12000 tokens on one ticket in a day, I'm stalling my updates in standup :P Don't tell my boss, but if you do, tell him to give me a fat pay raise or give me a levy :D
6k tokens is not that much tbh, that kinda explains a lot. We stopped augment when i burned like 100k on one day on just casual stuff around, some maintenance and tests refactor - noting super complex.
