now??

I have no idea (I don't have the pulse of or speak for all bbs software devs), but Claude Code does seem to be generally taking a strong hold among programmers these days.

I think Claude is good, though I've also used Cursor and I think Cursor is pretty good too. Cursor is also less expensive (it lets you use it more for their $20/month tier). I haven't done a thorough comparison between code quality between Cursor & Claude though; maybe Claude is able to produce higher-quality code.

With Claude, I run into their rate limiting very fast on their $20/month tier. I think their $100/month tier would be better for me, but that's a significant difference in price, and in some cases, with that money, I might be able to find some existing software rather than use Claude to make one.

I upgraded from $20 to $100/month Claude Code subscription pretty quick (after adding some "extra time" and calculating that the $100/month would actually save me money). I've also heard good things about OpenAI's Codex and watching a demo, it seemed very similar to Claude Code in function and capability, but cheaper than Claude.

All of these AI code services are likely currently way *under* charging based on their cost to operate. They're going to continue to get better, no doubt, but I think they're also going to get more expensive at some point.

I have no idea (I don't have the pulse of or speak for all bbs
software devs), but Claude Code does seem to be generally taking
a strong hold among programmers these days.

i'm having a lot of problems with it not giving me my code and having me wait another 4 hrs. it has it, doesnt output it. then i ask where's the code and then it thinks again and does the 4 hr wait.

this has happened to me for 3 days straight last week. the ai and support forums say this shouldn't be happening.

How are you running Claude (e.g. from a web browser, app, command-line) and what kind of subscription do you have?

i just run it from the web browser. I'm not subscribed right now and i won't do it again if it keeps acting up like this.
I'm guessing they have been tinkering again with it and it's producing bad results for people who are not subscribed.

it will say the code is ready then do the 'times up' thing. then i say where is the code 4 hrs later and it runs and does the same thing. I just got it to output the code after about 4 days. I haven't looked at it, it's probably got an issue.

So Claude Code directly creates and modifies source files, but you run it from a command prompt and it requires a subscription (I think).
