I have two claude code subscriptions: a team plan through my employer and I'm paying for the $200/month plan outside of that.

Trading $200/month of my money for the ability to build all of the things I've been thinking about for years is a great trade for me. I've built more things for fun/potential profit in the last year than I did in the previous decade combined.

And of course, one of the things I've built is a version of what OP made that works exactly how I want it to work. :)

It’s so funny to me that every AI user feels the need to add this entire disclaimer about how it’s actually helping them build the Starship Enterprise from scratch or whatever every time someone even hints at it maybe being a little bit of a waste of money.

I build my own products and services and the effective ROI for paying for a more or less unlimited max Claude Code plan is fairly ridiculously positive.

Like you make money with them?

This uses the CLIs so its using subscription pricing, not token pricing

VC funding + spending more money on Claude instead of hiring more engineers

200 dollars a month goes a long way with claude code
