busch_jon The darker side of being a doctor

To be fair the driving distance was in km, not freedom units!

busch_jon Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index

A bunch of SWEs at my work use it as their primary model.

We have Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor with essentially no cap on spend (top guy is spending over 10K a month on AI at API prices), and he hasn't had his hand slapped.

So it's not like they are using it purely because it's cheaper.

I think people like to use it for its speaking style, pretty solid performance, and its speed.

busch_jon Claude Fable 5

I work at a smaller tech company (<300 people), and my friend showed me everyone's spending.

Our top user is at 10k a month, but the next highest is $2,000.

I would say the average is around $1,000-$1,500 for a developer.

We have completely unrestricted access to Claude, Codex, and Cursor.

Funny enough, the guy spending 10k is not even a dev by trade but an SME in what we work on that just vibe codes apps and somehow has not been cut off yet lol.

I have a single thread of GPT 5.5 medium running basically all work hours and I am around $1,500 a month in spend on Enterprise pricing.

busch_jon The real cost of owning a home

Maybe I missed it in the article but it doesn't seem to mention that you deduct mortgage interest on your taxes in the US?

This isn't something you get renting and it effectively lowers your monthly payment.

busch_jon Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from anywhere

Facts, I have built something myself doing this (granted I am a software eng) and pretty much anyone with claude code / codex could do it in a couple hours and you can tailor it to your exact workflow.

The apps that do this are an easy money grab though, I have a seen some total trash ones that still rank high on IOS store because people still want this so I am sure they will get some subs.
