For some reason doing a bunch of vibe coding was what finally inspired me to start learning C and systems level stuff, I got so bored of sitting around generating stuff that I got some motivation to start really challenging myself and leveling up as a programmer again. I let my subscriptions expire and have been having a great time writing code the old fashioned way
Funniest moment for me so far was when i emailed z-ai to ask if there is a way i can upgrade my plan to the higher tier and they were just like "sorry, nope"
To everyone who has been feeling like their MAX subscription is a waste of money, give GLM 4.5 a try, i use it with claude code daily on the $3 plan and it has been great
