$50+ in monthly subscription fees?
BRB buying some MSFT

The Developer Enterprise Program plan is $299/year and enables corporate/internal distribution to employees.
Most people only need the first, but the second is also an option. And if you need both, it's technically $398/year for the great honor.
Then try selling through a grocery or drugstore chain.
But good luck trying to sell your new iphone app through your own website.
At least with android, you could sell an APK download or sell through a different app store.
It was priced and designed for companies to be buying as a bundle with other licensing. individual devs would frequently use some of the loopholes through licensing partners to commit to what was basically a three year subscription that spread the cost. For companies, it could mitigate some of the costs associated with the proliferation of environments that needed to be licensed from top-to-bottom. Later, these may stop being eligible for MSDN use and generate more revenue. License auditing was real and gave visibility into this usage.
VMware still have a program like this going for their admin user base. It gets recommended by the r/homelab folks who haven't adopted Proxmox.
Or $800 for a COBOL|FORTRAN|C|AP/L compiler, plus $600 for a debugger.
At least when you upgraded the next year, you got $20 off!
This is when I build a product and then Microsoft releases it three weeks later -_-
I'm going to sign up for the free plan, not because I need such a tool, but rather so that my boss might see me using it and decide that it's worth $10 a month to her.

I think this should contain a list of what's in the filter: https://api.stackexchange.com/2.3/filters/!-*f(6s6U8Q9b
$9 per month also makes it costly enough that I wouldn't buy it as a "just to have" kind of tool. I don't think I'd get $100 of value vs searching online, especially since I attribute some negative value to tools that can be taken away from me. I don't want to pay forever and be dependent on something that could disappear tomorrow.
I don't get why something like that needs to be an online service. I don't know much about AI, so maybe it's a lack of understanding on my part, but why can't I simply have a copy of the trained model on my local machine where there's no ongoing cost (to you) whenever I run a command? Isn't an online API a complex solution to a problem that could be solved with a local app + data?
Maybe I just lack understanding and the models are too big or the compute required to make a query is huge. If you could give some insight I'd genuinely appreciate it.
Even though I'd never buy it as a subscription, it's the kind of thing I'd pay for as a perpetual app. I'd wouldn't hesitate to pay $50 if I could install it on my machines and forget about it until it would be useful. I'd also expect to pay for updated versions of the models whenever I need them.
Regardless, I think it's amazing as a discovery tool. I don't mind reading 'man' pages to figure out details, but I always feel like it's a hassle to discover what command I need for certain tasks.
Also, I'm probably an outlier since I make a lot of effort to avoid tools that rely on an internet connection to function. IE: I won't rely on GitHub. I'll use it, but only as a push mirror.
Very cool. Too bad I don't do subscriptions. If you ever figure out how to do a version on localhost, I'd pay $40 or so for it.
Cheers to those who know where to put their dollars to ride this AI bubble to early retirement!
So what if I use Intellij? And worse, would it eventually kill Intellij?
Made by GitHub.
It's not a stretch at all. Take a look at Copilot's homepage: https://github.com/features/copilot
> Keep flying with your favorite editor
Now, look at Copilot X's announcement:
> We are bringing a chat interface to the editor that’s focused on developer scenarios and natively integrates with VS Code and Visual Studio
> It recognizes what code a developer has typed, what error messages are shown, and it’s deeply embedded into the IDE.
It reads like "we're going to make AI a competitive advantage of VS and VScode." Of course they have the right to do it, I'm just saying I hate it.
They’re releasing their editors first. Just like they did the last time. Obviously.
Unless this goes to hundreds of dollars/month (which I would pay if it was a good experience) I don't see this making a dent.
But that wouldn't quite work.
If developers all use it for their own projects, you have a viral growth engine. And you can charge a lot more for the enterprise license.
SAML, fine-tuning on your private repos, etc. - this could be a very expensive seat with all the options added.
I think they are just trying to establish themselves in the market and how the market will play out will be seen over the coming years.
No.
Tell me you buy the hype and on high impact macro-economic news like FOMC and lose more money due to volatility without telling me.
Almost everyone here knew GPT-4 will release soon, months ago in advance and you now decide to 'buy' MSFT as soon as it goes up to $277?
The market really does get retail FOMO'ing in stocks with the hype and it just never ceases to surprise me that it happens here too.
It also helps me understand new codebases in languages that I am not familiar with.
In addition it is good for refactoring and can spot bugs.
I use combination of chatgpt in editor and copilot. And I have ChatGPT one shortkey away as an os app.
