To my feeling, I'm getting usage of Opus (and Fable before the cut) that's greater than what I got from Sonnet last year. I reached $100 of usage when weekly was at 50%. This means, I could squeeze $800 worth of tokens for $20.
I had a colleague that was typing such long answers (before AI era) to a simple question. It felt wrong, but sometimes I didn't even read what I heard him typing for half an hour. I was a new employee and he was responding to my questions, that's why I asked him sometimes. He was let go after 1 month. One of the problems was also productivity issue :)
Yeah, I'd definitely not trust probabilistic system with things like a payroll. If you need to check all the numbers yourself, because you cannot trust the system, what was saved anyways?
Yeah. If it's free or cheap, people don't value the thing. It's something called "price sensitivity". Some things are expensive (luxury brands), and people want it for that reason alone (status symbol).
That's the problem. If there are many heavy apps, you don't want to start all of them at once. There's no control about that, that I'm aware of. Also, if you have dependson, this is a compose feature and it's ignored when docker daemon is restarted.
I also configured some productions with docker compose. The biggest problem is to handle the case of machine reboot. Docker restart policy needs to be set to "no". That's also the problem if there would be dependencies between services. Solving that always lead to some type of hacks. I created a bash script that's run with SystemD on machine boot, to start all docker compose services one by one, to avoid them starting all at once (if restart policy would be set to anything except "no"). Other than that, it's awesome. Complexity reduced if high availability is not a critical requirement.
I really, really, really like Github Copilot agent harness. I was using it as my primary coding agent for the past year. I really hope it will remain affordable. I knew that $10/month won't last forever for the amount of usage I was getting out of it. It's far better than claude code and codex that I'm testing now (because I burned weekly limit in less than a day).
