    So, how are people actually using Pi? Here I am with Claude Code and Codex in a terminal like a caveman.

      Don't give into FOMO.

      Developers just love to spent considerably amount of time and effort into building tooling. Way more than working on the actual products.

      But I must admit it is really fun to build your own harness and tweak it to your liking, even if it is never used for professional work ;-)

        I use Pi because I fundamentally believe that inference providers are not the correct providers of harnesses. Their incentives are not aligned, and inevitably Claude and codex will continue trying to lock you in to get your inference spend.

          Yeah, better pay higher margin API prices. That'll show them!

            A lot of us aren't actually using enough tokens to reach the value add of a $20USD/month subscription versus just paying for the API. Without even mentioning the chinese competitors, you can get a lot of tokens for $10 of ChatGPT Luna, which is more than capable of solving the kinds of problems I have at home (where I use hermes harness).

            At work it’s all api pricing.
