I think 2025 is more productive for me based on measurable metrics such as code contribution to my projects, better ability to ingest and act upon information, and generally I appreciate the Anthropic tax because Claude genuinely has been a step-change improvement in my life.
Isn‘t it generally agreed upon that counting contributions, LoC or similar metrics is a very bad way to gauge productivity?
This would've never happened without a Claude Pro (+ChatGPT) subscription.
And as I'm not American, none of them are aimed to be subscription based SaaS offerings, they're just simple CLI applications for my personal use. If someone else enjoys them, good for them. =)
