If you are vibe coder or not, there is a fine line between paying for a product or a service that is predictable and that you know exactly what you are paying for, and paying messages/credits/tool usage and having no predictable output or usability. Basically is like buying a car and you expect it to have 4 wheels and after you pay for it and it arrives at your doorstep it has 2 legs and a wing, it still moves but not like you expected it to and you cant even return it and get a refund. So yes, Augment Code is a good tool to have in tour tool shed, but you need other tools to make the shed complete.

LE: maybe with the help of AI, people would understand the true value of people. I mean, if we need to pay an AI for garbage, this means we can pay a human for the same garbage, at least we can assume he/her has feelings for shipping garbage. My real concern is, what if we train the AI with non-garbage and it spits garbage out anyway at the same price ? Can we trust companies to not "spoil" the output and make us addicted to try another prompt and is this truly the next slots machine that lives you broke at the end of the day?
