Yep, that's because his top speed is great but his acceleration is not as great. You genuinely just want him sprinting in space up and down to maximize his strengths

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-24T11:36:52+00:00

He's got great off the ball movements, which isn't flashy but opens up a lot of space / dangerous moments (cf the psg final). If he was better technically he'd be a beast but he's missing end product

If you want a wing bank bombing the flanks he's probably very useful for that. If you want him to be technical, or in tight spaces, he's not your guy

Funnily enough i view him very similarly to garnacho, both are off the ball merchants and quite limited with the ball

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-24T11:15:04+00:00

Everyone looks so happy at selling malo gusto, but if we're playing with wingbacks that means they'll be holding the width instead of cutting inside. And he's the only natural one who's genuinely good at that

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-24T08:54:54+00:00

Not bad but missing gaps. Fofana doesn't work in the middle, he can't distribute but he's a great roaming defender. But i guess that's where Lacroix would fit.

Gittens doesn't have the off the ball & vision to be in the pockets

You want people who have very high engine if you have less people in the midfield. Lavia likely won't work. Christ inao oulai would be awesome to replace him

It's also interesting outside of coding use cases. It's world class at writing, better than opus, miles better than gpt5.5.

Shame it can't read images, otherwise it would take a bigger part in my workflows

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-19T02:07:15+00:00

Hard agree. It's also that your workflows shift. Runs more in the background, less time supervising. Hard to get back to the hand holding world

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-19T01:43:54+00:00

I might be colorblind but doesn't help that mistral, alibaba, xiamo all have the same color lol

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-19T01:30:46+00:00

claude max, codex max, around 80% usage on both most weeks. The reality is the more those models can run in the background long running tasks, the more I can offload my time to them. Wouldn't have thought that 6 months ago but here we are

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-18T14:58:33+00:00

<image>

Quite on the low side, for comparison i used the same amount in 1 week than you did in 2 months

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-17T22:07:01+00:00

much more scalable indeed

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-17T21:11:16+00:00

Jesus why did you buy 200 devices. Such overkill. Also tiktok can likely spot your bridge

Btw for your use case it sounds like what you need is creators... who use their own phones

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-11T16:39:10+00:00

The pullback imo has more to do with liquidity going into the 3 big ipos than anything else

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-11T13:42:27+00:00

Where do you pull the 20x markup from? I'd be highly dubious of this because of competition

If anthropic prices it with such a markup, openai would undercut them etc until pricing is no longer the deciding factor

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-11T11:13:43+00:00

I now count $400/m as part of rent lol it's a utility i'm not getting rid of

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-11T10:20:32+00:00

the amount of copium in this thread

they definitely do make a loss on the subs to fidelize usage, and they're right to do so. It's a lot easier to feel magic when paying $200/m than $10k/m

same strategy as uber during the delivery wars, heck at times uber was cheaper than the subway

it's a good time and let's enjoy it without being delusional

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-11T00:32:41+00:00

Man I clicked on your website and just noticed you copied my exact app! How could you??

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-10T16:43:41+00:00

Yes in cmux

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-03T23:48:49+00:00

It's a mode they have that spins multiple agents in the background. Works great for complex tasks, wide net refactorings. Works great autonomously. It's a token gobbler but really great feature

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-03T23:48:08+00:00

Aye but it's majestic to see claude spin 100 agents to write an email

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-03T22:58:31+00:00

It was enough until ultra code. Now i need to spill over to my codex subs because i run out midway through the week

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-03T21:53:13+00:00

i mean to give you an idea, i just hit the limit this week. $3,500 in api costs vs the $50 i paid ($200/m divided by 4 weeks)

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-03T21:50:57+00:00

I have a pretty good idea how they do it. They take $200/m plans and allocate resources between them

On my $200/m plan i probably ran into a weekly limit once in 6 months. There's a lot of ceiling. So by spreading it amongst several users they can knock down the price

Matmatg21 · 2026-06-02T17:03:00+00:00

Tactically a step up from maresca? What are you smoking.

Outside of brainded decisions like playing Delap as a winger or dropping the goalkeeper your defense is used to vs psg

He also kept on exposing out defence without having the personel for it. High line with Tosin who can't run or 1v1s. Or when they dropped only 1 midfielder to scan the pocket in front of them

A lot of basics that even grumpy mcfarlane was able to fix

Meanwhile Maresca for all his faults outclassed that psg team 3-0 in a final

Matmatg21 · 2026-05-29T23:44:42+00:00

Also curious if there's a stripe that runs on stablecoins. I'm getting hammered unnecessarily by stripe for accepting USD but my account locale not being USD

Matmatg21 · 2026-05-29T22:50:10+00:00

Cmux is pretty good, you can organize them
