Manufacturing demand. Create the problem. Solve the problem. The 2x allowance last month was not of the goodness of their hearts. It’s pumping up the demand AND the revenue simultaneously. The squeeze before an IPO. How many of us have looked into moving to the next tier during the last 48 hours? I know I have both professionally and for my private use. Moving 20% of $20 customers to $100 increases the revenue for the group with 1.8x.

When I sit down and dial in on a serious project at work I easily spend $500-1000+ day of API usage. At home I just hit the limit and give up / cancel my sub. Wish I could just go all out one weekend a month. I hardly code outside of work but sometimes there’s a project I have an itch for.

Once enough people have lost the ability to write their own code, they will be fully at the mercy of the price setters. One thing I love about coding as a hobby is that it costs me nothing.
