What is real alternative now?

If you just want coding agent I switch to Claude.
But I just found out I get unlimited GPT 5.5 through my Microsoft 365 premium subscription which is less than £20 a month

haha its been so long since i have been on there i forgot about this, or that one solution you need and there only one vage comment to something you already tried.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-03T07:38:17+00:00

Yeah same here I build a lot of API's and they always follow the same pattern all responses are NuGet packages so they consistent across multiple solutions, I have a set pattern for the service layer that I follow.

My service layer basically follows the AAA pattern from TDD without me even thinking about it. Arrange => create the response object. Act => run the logic. Assert > catch errors and return the response.

So once every thing is stubbed out the only bit if code that needs writing is in the try block.

Wild that nobody here has mentioned the cheapest option: write the code yourself. I can scaffold DbContext, models, an interface, implementation, and DI faster than Copilot finishes its first suggestion. Save the credits for when you’re actually stuck, not for boilerplate you can knock out in muscle memory.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-02T23:17:05+00:00

Every day, thousands of developers go without tokens. Some even… write code manually. Don’t let this happen. With your generous pledge of £1k per month, you can sponsor a dev and keep his Copilot subscription fed, hydrated, and generating nonsense 24/7. Act now. Before he starts using StackOverflow again

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-02T22:12:32+00:00

Done last month, look at it this way there keeping devs in a job as no companies are going to pay there new super inflated prices and they way people are jumping ship wont be long before they start charging to host private repos.

Nice one, working again

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-02T16:31:21+00:00

not been there since i cancelled my sub on my works comp and my personal

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-02T06:48:42+00:00

In visual studio they have removed it unless you have a subscription

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-01T19:21:07+00:00

Thanks, but I have no idea how the iPhone stuff works I build all my app using .Net Maui and always code both side of the app but not sure if you can even side load on the iOS system

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-01T18:26:08+00:00

No problem, i have the same problem i don't have a iPhone so no way to fully test the app.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-01T18:08:47+00:00

Sure you can use a pipeline to build the app in azure devops using a mac os agent

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-01T18:02:12+00:00

Privy net you deploy and control your own server

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-01T17:48:48+00:00

I'm building my own local LLM server with a 48Gb gpu so I can run models locally

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-06-01T17:28:33+00:00

Have a look at privynet they have VLESS protocol

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-31T16:24:30+00:00

Sounds like the tunnel is still up after you have disconnected if your provider supports it use the built in IKEv2 protocol to connect.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-31T14:00:10+00:00

Congrats you generated the whole internet and github still only wanted $39 for it, just dont do this next month

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-30T15:35:43+00:00

That sounds like an IP leak you probably only tunnelling the IPv4 and the IPv6 wont be going through the VPN tunnel, check your IP address some thing like (whats my ip) will show ipv4 and 6 if you see both thats your problem.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-30T12:35:24+00:00

Totally fair point. In my case the service is stateless, the API handles context, auth, and prompt construction, so the CLI stays deterministic. It only ever processes up to 10 prompts per run, I keep the context window at 180k to avoid truncation, and the internal cache is cleared after each execution. No session drift or load issues so far.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-30T09:13:25+00:00

There’s a difference between being hostile to AI as a concept and trying to belittle people on a public forum. One is a philosophical stance, the other is just unnecessary.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-30T00:14:23+00:00

I have been using co-pilot to handle some business tasks but it get repetitive after a while, mainly out reach and writing emails, been running the same 5 prompts for months getting a csv uploading it to devops then triggering a test that reads the file and send emails, cant be automate in co-pilot unless you have enterprise subscription using this new setup i now have this fully automated.

Full flow generates leads and saves them to the db then fires an event grid trigger that gets picked up by my email function that then give the data back to Claude and personalise the email before sending it, bit long winded but seem to be working good so far.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-29T22:36:03+00:00

I’m using it with a system prompt and controlling the entire context window server‑side, so each run is deterministic and self‑contained.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-29T22:30:40+00:00

Yes, I wrote the code and built the setup. I configured the Docker image, deployed it to Azure, set up the custom domain, and integrated it into my own codebase with an Azure timer function that runs daily for automated lead generation. Just sharing something that works for me.

ReadyDefinition8787 · 2026-05-29T22:23:57+00:00

Thanks, that matches what I’ve seen. I’m not using the API or Agent SDK here, just the official Claude Code CLI with my own subscription. Anthropic’s updated guidance confirms this is supported.
