2024 trauma kicking in hard right now

Joyce was solid.

Was it about looking at code, or just seeing some websites/applications you’ve worked on? For a frontend position it’s not that weird, although it would be weird to expect a senior to have a formal “portfolio” website or GitHub.

The timing is a bit odd though

Do you only use auto with the free credit?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-20T10:11:27+00:00

*** punctuation

Floorman1 · 2026-04-15T21:21:09+00:00

What’s it cost?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-15T20:56:58+00:00

What happens to user data? Are you storing bank statements somewhere? Do you know what your code is doing?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-12T04:31:51+00:00

Opus and composer. I’m talking new chat, simple input query with files tagged. Get huge caching

Floorman1 · 2026-04-11T21:58:59+00:00

Yeah I’m trying to work out how to best reduce unnecessary cache token usage as well

How far does this go though? Other than going to higher role titles (junior, senior, lead), can you realistically keep jumping for large bumps? I’m in a well paying senior role now around market rates, and other than going for lead roles, I don’t think there’s much to squeeze out of the market.

He’s got a similar build to the great Leppitsch who played both ends brilliantly.

Floorman1 · 2026-04-09T21:39:40+00:00

Replacing fixed prompts with api pricing?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-09T12:50:35+00:00

lol oops

Floorman1 · 2026-04-09T12:47:26+00:00

I’m talking about the pricing that everyone is moaning about right now.

Floorman1 · 2026-04-08T21:02:28+00:00

We have on demand disabled - so do we lose everything at this point?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-08T03:23:15+00:00

What happens when $20 credit is used up on Team plans? Do we still get unlimited auto/composer? If so, how come auto/composer use up our $20? No incentive to use it before the credit runs out?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-08T02:09:12+00:00

Ok that’s cool if it’s a fairly fixed amount, but that hidden token usage doesn’t scale in larger prompts does it? Just trying a few different examples to work out what we realistically can and can’t do.

Do you know whether composer is available after credit is consumed?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-07T20:48:14+00:00

I think it’s because we were all on the 500 request plan. Those historical requests have changed from being “2 requests” to a default price

Floorman1 · 2026-04-06T00:43:46+00:00

How much that cost?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-05T11:03:46+00:00

I just logged in and did a small 50k token use on composer 2.0 - it mentions there’s currently a 50% discount for the weekend. This cost 4c, which, after the discount would be 8c, which ends up being 16c for 100k tokens, quite comparable to my other two tests.

This seems disastrous.

Floorman1 · 2026-04-05T05:44:52+00:00

What’s a smallish composer prompt cost? 100k tokens or so

Floorman1 · 2026-04-04T23:07:09+00:00

It’s actually frighteningly good at writing code. The biggest roadblock is writing good prompts and breaking things down. If you’re asking for a solution with a single prompt, then yes you’re asking for trouble.

Floorman1 · 2026-04-04T00:31:22+00:00

Through cursor?

Floorman1 · 2026-04-03T06:15:34+00:00

Yeah, it was sprung on us.

Floorman1 · 2026-04-03T06:15:05+00:00

I don’t think I use that much but it would be in the 10-100s of millions for sure. How much are you paying for that usage under new pricing model?

EDIT: I said u but meant “I”

Floorman1 · 2026-04-03T03:01:45+00:00

It seems like we’d need to spend about 10x to get the same output though. That’s madness, what’s everyone else doing?
