Can you provide more details on these skills?

Did you modify the Plus plans usage recently or as part of this introduction? Given that Pro plans usage are multiples of it (5x/20x) and given reports of less Plus usage, clarification would be appreciated?

Transparency on this sort of thing is the best way to address negative company sentiment.

I'm honestly not sure, as I don't work on it. My understanding from afar is:

- There was a 2x promotion in March that ended on April 2, so limits have felt tighter since then

- We sometimes reset rate limits after bugs or milestones or because Tibo feels generous, which can make some days feel different than others (they are typically announced here: https://x.com/thsottiaux)

- Recently Plus was tweaked to have a smaller 5h limit but an increased weekly limit

- Lastly, as part of the new Pro launch, the $100 & $200 Pro tiers are getting a 2x promotion, meaning they are temporarily 10x/40x instead of 5x/20x

I've asked our team to clarify the pricing page. Agree it's not clear.

> “Earendil is a venture-backed for-profit, public benefit corporation” - Ronacher

The author favors the “public benefit” part, but less so the “venture-backed for-profit” part, is my speculation. Likely the reason for the disapproval of the finance types and the title “I’ve sold out”.

To quote Ronacher - “Earendil is a venture-backed for-profit, public benefit corporation”

Their intention to release products that provide a return for their backers, using a “free with paid premium” model.

Their web site left me with a bad taste. I want to like them but… No front page pricing. Popups obscuring screen, with no options I agree with. Standard safari shows blank page for products. Cute images that overwhelm content. How many sign up for free prompts are enough?

Huh? I'm not seeing any popups except the cookie banner at the bottom of the screen.

Pricing link is the second one in the top menu, and it shows all prices in a straightforward way.

I might expect such a subjective, gossipy exposé of a public official, but this of a private individual in a non-public sector commercial company?

I feel like your missing a third alternative:-

You (are required to) treat your code as having to fulfill both functional requirements and declared non-functional requirements, including measures of maintainability, reliability, performance, and security and (regulatory/legal) compliance.

So refreshing for me to see a high data density display. It highlights for me how the norm is to display more “white space” than information.

> maintaining enterprise software which is what most programmers are employed to do …

I hear little from those involved with enterprise or line-of-business applications discussing their findings. Forums like this are dominated by SAAS, tool makers, computer and data scientists, and infrastructure concerns.

Anyone using AI with large, complex business systems?

Totally agree. I see a lot of experimentation, initial exploration for an idea, etc. but the middle and end portions are never noteworthy except when it goes haywire and someone makes a blogpost about it.

Ideating is important but it is also very far from what is being promised. It’s also not that useful to the average person most of the time. If this is truly a revolutionary, must-have, daily-use technology, then by now we should have some idea of where it lives. But we don’t! The best and most consistent application so far is coding agents for coders. That’s great, but again, not the promise and very limited in scope.

I suggest that AI doesn’t currently deliver what is really required of good software for public use. That is understood by more experienced programmers, but not by those with less experience and management.

It should be Useful, Accurate, Consistent, Available and Usable.

Doesn’t AI just largely help quickly deliver Available and (to some degree) Usable?
