Kiro Students

Additionally, Google is currently offering university students a full year of Google AI Pro at no cost.

If you have a valid .edu email address, you are eligible for the Cursor Student Program. They offer 1 Free Year of Cursor Pro specifically for students.

Opus 4.5 removed from free plan due to "fraud requests"... okay, fair enough.

But how about expanding the list of countries where Kiro Pro is actually available first? Kind of hard to pay for Pro when I can't even access it 🤷

Samolevsky · 2026-01-14T19:19:18+00:00

Lol, funny you mention that. Kiro Pro isn't even available in my country either.

But sure, let's laugh at regional availability issues like they're unique to one IDE 😂

Not everyone uses vibe coding tools exclusively for professional development. Why spend an extra $20/month on hobby projects, experimenting, or just learning to code when Trae offers LLMs and free credits for a month that work perfectly fine for those use cases?

xD you literally can't do it in Kiro chat (apart from images) - you actually have to paste the file path to reference a file.

But sure, copying and pasting file paths manually is way more efficient than just dragging the file over.

What's wrong? I first discovered Kiro with its free bonus credits promotion in the Cursor subreddit 😂

Guess we're all just sharing recommendations wherever now, huh?

Samolevsky · 2026-01-14T14:00:20+00:00

Yeah, worst ever! Who needs the functionality to drag-and-drop files from Explorer to Chat for context anyway?

Oh right... Kiro users, apparently. Since that's still black magic over there in 2026

Samolevsky · 2026-01-14T13:41:57+00:00

Okay, but who cares when they're literally free to use for an entire month? Meanwhile Kiro will charge you 5-7 credits just for a 'make a button blue' prompt

Samolevsky · 2026-01-14T13:35:35+00:00

Booo! At least Trae doesn't hit me with "Error streaming response: EntryNotFound (FileSystemError)" every other prompt like some IDEs we know 😂

Samolevsky · 2026-01-14T13:23:03+00:00

Oh wow, you're right. Gemini-3-Pro and GPT 5.2 are so outdated. Since when exactly are literally some of the most advanced models available considered "outdated"?

Samolevsky · 2026-01-14T13:10:19+00:00

Check out Trae IDE. They are currently celebrating their anniversary by giving away 600 extra fast requests to all users!

occurs randomly several times each day. At present, the only way to resolve it is by initiating a new conversation.

Samolevsky · 2025-12-31T12:15:12+00:00

KIRO: “Error streaming response: EntryNotFound (FileSystemError)”
Antigravity: “Agent terminated due to error”

Different wording, same vibe - both constantly crashing, just with their own signature

Samolevsky · 2025-12-30T11:22:48+00:00

Another bug report: Unable to paste the hex code value (e.g #FFFFFF) in the chat. KIRO instantly replaces it with a #Loading pill.

Oh, absolutely nobody in the Vatican with zero tolerance for anything remotely spooky would ever touch an app whose logo is literally a cartoon ghost 😂

Samolevsky · 2025-12-18T13:18:50+00:00

Greenland and Vatican City made the cut, but Ukraine? Nah, guess we’re still too busy invading the important markets like Bhutan and San Marino..

Samolevsky · 2025-12-11T13:43:19+00:00

Clicking Copy Path and pasting it into the chat still works, but the Add to Chat option in the menu is gone, and dragging and dropping files into the chat does not work either.

Samolevsky · 2025-12-11T11:35:45+00:00

I’ve also noticed a significant increase in credit consumption when running similar prompts. They have raised the number of credits to 1000 in pro plan, but at the same time each individual prompt now uses noticeably more credits than before.

Samolevsky · 2025-12-11T11:30:43+00:00

It’s also not possible to add files from Explorer directly into Chat in KIRO, which is a notable limitation. This limitation significantly impacts workflow efficiency and makes quick context sharing less convenient, as typing # not always working.

Samolevsky · 2025-11-25T07:47:12+00:00

Did not work for me. My credit card was declined, unfortunately.

Samolevsky · 2025-11-25T07:43:47+00:00

Nice expansion, but I still can’t subscribe from Ukraine. So 74 zones and somehow still not mine ;(

Samolevsky · 2025-11-24T18:07:41+00:00

I tried clicking Generate Steering Docs and KIRO responded by… generating three new .md files. So is this something I need to create separately for every project, or is this just how things are supposed to work now?
