> claude code was completely unsustainable and therefore a flash in the pan and devs aren't at risk

How can you possibly say this if you know anything about the evolution of costs in the past year?

Inference costs are going down constantly, and as models get better they make less mistakes which means less cycles = less inference to actually subsidize.

This is without even looking at potential fundamental improvements in LLMs and AI in general. And with all the trillions in funding going into this sector, you can't possibly think we're anywhere near the technological peak.

Speaking as a founder managing multiple companies: Claude Code's value is in the thousands per month /per person/ (with the proper training). This isn't a flash in the pan, this isn't even a "prediction" - the game HAS changed and anyone telling you it hasn't is trying to cover their head with highly volatile sand.
