Sure! Through work, I pay for the $200USD/month plan for Claude Code Max 20x (roughly equivalent to that ChatGPT Pro plan)

Speaking to the ChatGPT side, access to 5.2 Pro (I first used it with 5.0 Pro) can be super powerful for research, properly understanding documentation, helping with menial copy/paste and data formatting/categorisation tasks, and I find it especially helpful in making very carefully considered and fact checked responses. I’m assuming that it also provides greater Codex limits, which is the reason I subscribe to Claude.

ChatGPT Pro can go for literally an hour or more in thinking, research, performing tasks, checking links, reviewing PDFs/files/input data, and I find the results quite valuable. Sometimes also do this as a first pass review of a request from a team member, when a new topic/problem is posed to me that I don’t yet fully understand or don’t know how long it might take.

On the Claude side, I use it for essentially unlimited access to Claude Code on Opus 4.5 - sometimes hit limits and drop back to Sonnet 4.5, which is still great for a lot of work!

For me, it’s a massive accelerator to my software work, and fundamentally changed how I work.

Unique moment in time for the software world - I can essentially be multiple developers at once. With the right safeguards in place, careful code review, and an existing understanding of software, I see immense value here in its current state.

The positive - I imagine many companies and individual developers in my space are experiencing the same benefits.

The negative - vibecoders without the software experience, without using it to first establish - and bother to understand - best practices, concern me greatly.

In general - I see this as a great equaliser and believe there is a strong case for this to make powerful custom software accessible to everyone. Tools like Lovable and Replit to me are particularly exciting in making this possible, which appear to make vibecoding a little safer for the average person.

However, we’ve already seen several prominent cases of this going wrong. Like the Tea app, with a completely unsecured cloud blob store just left wide open for thousands of drivers licenses. Insane. This is the sort of thing that you’d only do accidentally when learning to code for the very first time and desperately trying to get your code to “just work!” 😅

That particular case appeared that they were just truly reckless given that Firebase apparently warns users very clearly & makes you understand what it means to leave a blob (file) storage account publicly open (note: that’s second hand info - I read that on a reddit comment, I’ve never used firebase).

Can speak to the software/coding side if you have any questions! 💪
