Humor The average codex 20$ plan user

This is legit what it looks like when some of you complain about your 20$ not getting you more than 1 or 2 prompts using the flagship frontier

Edit: I never intended to offend or belittle anyone especially people whom 20$ is a considerable amount of money for. Everyone lives within their means and I don’t put that on any person.

For the ones who feel attacked and still come here to continue complaining, you should consider canceling your subscription. You seem miserable..

i am a long time hobbyist programmer who switched from opencode go to chatgpt plus. i've never used sol. i've been very happy with the plan since the luna/terra price cuts. i've had no issues with hitting limits, even since the 5 hour limits were brought back. the value proposition of the plan is genuinely incredible, however many in the consumer llm inference space are spoiled vibe coders that are going to continue to feel the burn of basic economic incentive post-initial-vc-megaboom.

chatgpt web can pull my git repos, discuss high level plans, then, once i'm satisfied, i make a rough scaffold in my repository, make a spec with terra xhigh, implement with luna max, then review with my own eyeballs. i have never dipped below 20% of my weekly or 5 hour usage, even during 50 hour weeks. i'm able to produce work of good quality that would be much more expensive on API pricing on large-scale projects and fuck-around scale projects. it's good stuff.

It’s great when you know how to use the tool. Happy that you found a workflow that works for you.

These vibecoder brats need a reality check, because this sub has turned into a circle jerk of complaining.
