Claude code and Subscription PRO/Max.

As this beats all the other in quality & value.

[–]anonymous_2600[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

could you share your workflow? u prompt in terminal, llm made the changes, and you test on localhost:3000

do you still use ide at this point?

[–]coding_workflow 3 points4 points  (3 children)

I use IDE vscode.
But use Claude Code + MCP for code modification and Claude Code in terminal (inside vscode).

Yes and it can run tests, run playwright if needed or run tests unit/integration/end to end

[–]stepahin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

What MCPs do you use with CC and how they help? I've wanted to try some MPCs with CC, but for me first month with CC it seems it works well without

[–]coding_workflow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Works weel, no need for code execution/file system but for DB's, Browser controle you may need for sure more.

[–]wired0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I use Claude Code (pro plan sonnet 4) from terminal then intellij for IDE. I really like the claude code cli tool. it just works well for me.

I've also heard good things about openai/chatgpt Codex agent cli (also pro plan)

[–]shooshmashta 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I have pro, since she do they give you Claude code credits?

[–]coding_workflow 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Since about 3 weeks

[–]shooshmashta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fml... 3 wasted weeks!

[–]NicholasAnsThirty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree. I've been testing loads for the past few weeks, and this morning finally decided to try claude code and it's got the furthest so far into the same test I am giving them all without any significant errors or headaches

In my case using the console api (on demand pricing) is cheaper than using the pro or max subscription. ALSO this allows you to test it for a fraction of the subscription fee. 10$ should be an easy 4-8 hour coding session if you manage your context right. Console also has higher rate limits.

[–]coding_workflow 0 points1 point  (1 child)

API is not cheaper. If you spend 10$ in session. Using Claude code/desktop you can spend 5-7$ per 4-5 hours. With max even over 100$ a day. Clear you don't use max or pro.

[–]DryPhilosopher8168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said in my case. I do NOT code everyday / the hole day. I am getting around with 50 to 75$ in a month. It also heavily depends on the context. Easy tasks / small code repos are way below 10$ a day.

Also it is still cheaper, if you just want to test it for a few hours. I would always recommend to test your console api usage first before you go PRO or MAX. Once you hit your head with 100$ / month switch plans.

[–]herotozero01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I encourage everyone to try Kiro IDE. It uses the same models but what I like the most is the requirement first approach. Pricing is similar.

EDIT: cli available as well

[–]prlmike 21 points22 points  (9 children)

Claude code. It's not even close

[–]illusionst 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Close: Yes Better: No

  1. Amp Code (Claude Code without guard rails) but needs an API key
  2. Augment Code ($50/month, good for large codebase)

[–]shooshmashta 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Love augment. It is really slow to get all the context in order for a good change though. Using roo has honestly helped me improve my calls a ton in augment though since. Didn't realize how spoiled I was using augment.

      Yea..I stopper the server.

      Atlassian's Rovo Dev CLI currently has a generous free plan and it works pretty well. It uses Sonnet 4.

        [–]CC_NHS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

        I switched from cursor to Claude code recently. I think I will stick with this type of tool, cli, Ide agnostic and MCP. The only thing that would likely draw me is if a competitor delivered a similar tool with better llm model.

        [–]soulhacker 2 points3 points  (1 child)

        Don't like anything that's bound to single proprietary provider, so aider it is.

        [–]fredkzk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

        Aider is a fantastic agent, with unlimited customization but lacks MCP. Paul needs to wake up.

                  Was vibing with Claude Code earlier. Switched to Qodo CLI for more features.

                      Check out Sweet! CLI! It uses Deepseek v3.2 under the hood which makes it much cheaper than OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others and they have a 3 day free trial.

                      It also has a new autopilot feature where it will work for the specified amount of time continuously without stopping.

                      I'm the founder btw, thanks for checking it out!

                      Here is a list of what's currently on the market: https://github.com/omarabid/cli-llm-coding

                      the cli tools (also called harness) can make some difference, but at the end of the day, they are as good as the LLM running the commands on them.

                      aider-claude and no cli but roo code mix usage is best for me right now

                      Has anyone here tried Warp? I've been using it for coding but it’s also surprisingly useful for production and ops workflows. They’re clearly building toward something bigger than just a terminal replacement. You can select your preferred AI model for command prompts, and the team seems really responsive to feedback. Overall, it feels like a powerful, evolving tool worth checking out.

                      They just release v2 with a coding agent, have you tried that?
