    DeepSeek is underrated. Basically all Chinese models are good enough for day to day coding at this point.

    The 2 trillion dollar ROI on anthropic alone?

    Good luck with that.

      Good luck building something of value with "day to day coding". If you're going to compete in the future economy, you're going to compete at the frontier. The low hanging fruit will be of no value. If I can recreate your SaaS with an open weight model at a fraction of the cost, then your SaaS has no value.

        What the hell are you yammering about. Everything in the economy exists at different quality/price tradeoffs, everything from tomato sauce at the grocery store to landscaping services to SaaS. "Compete at the frontier" is some maximalist buzzword nonsense. Do you think Ikea is crying because their furniture is cheap and they're not "competing at the frontier"?
