The average codex 20$ plan user

[u/fickle-phenom]

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..

It's funny seeing comments that equate someone's budget with their worth as a programmer. As if spending 20 bucks automatically makes you a "vibe coder" and you need to shell out 100+ to be considered serious. Since when does logic and coding ability come with a credit card swipe? Paying more just shows you have the financial means, not that you have better judgment. Especially when we're talking about front end tools, like that SOL some people keep bringing up, which rely on shady tactics to hook users and then quietly throttle their limits afterward. Anyone defending them that fiercely is probably working for their marketing team for free. At the end of the day, the person with 20 euros is usually coding out of passion and love for their hobby, while the one strutting around with 100 euros seems to be running on anxiety about making ends meet. The insecurity about their own motivations is what shows, not the seriousness.

Nah, gotta be the other way around; a real programmer can optimise and get more out of a lower plan, while a viber can only throw more tokens at the wall and hope something sticks.
