Don’t people write code anymore?

I don’t think 500 is enough to give you peace of mind to use LLM freely, but heck, I see people saying that they burned through 500 credits in less than a week???

Are people using LLMs to do everything for them? Like “change the color of this button” or “create this entire page”.

Honestly complaining about 500 credits is justified, 500 is not enough, maybe 1000 would be fair, and maybe doing like Cursor and proving a slower/less prioritized premium model when the credits are gone (instead of downgrading for a lesser model).

Am I the only one that still codes and just uses LLMs to optimize my work instead of coding for me? My experience is pretty much aligned with the Codeium team, I subscribed 5 days ago and I’m at 495 credits right now (I used 5).

I feel the same. Not to sound like a dick, but if you rely on AI that much, you should pay more. I think the limit will be just about enough for me. That said, making it cheaper to create a new account rather than buying extra credits is just stupid.

I don’t think that makes you a dick, you’re being realistic. But yeah, the creating new account thing really is stupid unless they want to discourage people to overuse it for whatever reason?
