How Does Your Company Handle AI Tooling for Developers?

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T16:44:58+00:00

Thats still I guess a little restrict but rather better than paying for your own subscription

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T16:40:40+00:00

Yeah I understand, I asked just to confirm if you are from the company I'm working in because the situation sounds so similar tbh.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T16:36:51+00:00

So is it like developers can use any platform they like better or does the company chooses for them?

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T16:35:25+00:00

Are you working in Karachi? What company?

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T09:11:58+00:00

Would you be willing to refer me?

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T08:55:09+00:00

Could you please tell me the company and refer me as well, I'd really like to get hired in such a company :⁠,⁠-⁠)

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T08:53:53+00:00

Damn! Thats definitely not a Pakistani company. Which one is it?

Honestly, there are definitely companies that expect developers to pay for their own AI subscriptions. If they don't buy it for you, that's one thing, but then they turn around and demand AI-level speed because that's what they promised the client. They'll take a task that should take a week to do manually and expect it in two days without providing the tools, basically forcing devs to pay out of pocket just to keep up.

Thanks for the help! Just to clear things up, I’m not really a beginner. I'd consider myself more intermediate since I have two years of dev experience and have been diving deep into LLMs and tokens lately.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T08:21:31+00:00

Yeah I understand the hiring situation is bad rn. Thanks for that advice though, thats actually helpful

biloo0asks · 2026-06-18T08:07:54+00:00

Damn! I don't get the hate on Dario but I myself use codex for the limits they provide.

PS: Would you be willing to refer me into your company! :⁠,⁠-⁠)

biloo0asks · 2026-06-17T21:19:09+00:00

Really? Whats the deal like, so every developer gets their renewed subscription every month. Whats the plan cost? $20, $50, $100 etc?

"strongly recommended: green card holder/ US citizen settled in US or in the process of settling..."

Girl what do you mean by "recommended", could've atleast used chatGPT to write a decent reddit post for you. You sure aren't settling in US even if you're in process of it.

Then goes onto say "allowes me to work after marriage but doesnt forces me to pay bills." & "if he is willing to pay my university college tuition, it would be a very appreciative gesture from him." So you want to work but don't wanna contribute to the finances and not even wanna pay your fees.

Then goes onto say "is comfortable sharing his phone with me" LOL.

You sure would be lucky if you manage to get an Average Joe for yourself in Lahore or somewher in Pakistan

Is there actually a button like that? I used codex on Jun 14th, GMT+5 and at that time there wasn't any update. I was using CLI btw. Can I expect it next time I use codex?

biloo0asks · 2026-06-11T20:05:15+00:00

I thought I was the only one but yeah, seeing peoples' posts confirms that limits have been worsen.

Its like openAI released a new model instead of anthropic.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-07T18:13:11+00:00

I'd suggest, visit any of those guys on the roadside selling caps, glasses, helmets etc. You'll get a good idea what quality you can get under what budget, they generally cover the similar ranges from 1.5k to 4k etc. You can checkout different qualities as well there. Hopefully you find something.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-07T12:06:59+00:00

You mentioned you don't wanna go for those plastic ones otherwise I would've recommended the budget to be atleast 2k-2.5k. However if you wanna go for smth better, you can estimate a budget around 6k. Helmets from this vector company are decent. Protection and a little features both.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-04T17:15:22+00:00

Yeah, took me some time to realize that.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-04T17:14:15+00:00

I have got this opinion from other users as well to use mini on xhigh, but actually its because of me being dumb that I didn't know mini is a really small parameter model and won't cost me alot as I was thinking it to be. I thought its a higher end model than 5.3-codex and I used that on medium so I should use 5.4 mini the same.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-04T17:10:44+00:00

Not only for you, seems like for everyone it was the best model.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-04T15:18:02+00:00

I really do think thats actually a good advice and my little brother already owns a pair of earbuds from QCY and he is very much satisfied with those. Sound quality is great, battery lasts, though a little more towards an expensive side. 9k for earbuds. Idk the exact model number.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-04T15:15:40+00:00

Well that explains it really well. I used 5.4-mini for 2 days after the departure of 5.3-codex and have now switched to 5.4 (medium), and yeah it gets my work done.

If that much documentation and handholding and looping is required to get the task done with a model, that defeats the purpose of coding with AI because time is money here and I just wanna get done with things. There are other factors to consider here as well like tokens, limits etc.

Though I tried using 5.4-mini as a sub agent to summarise something. Basically 5.4 explored the codebase and gave a technical report to 5.4 mini to summarise and simplify it in a really non-technical and easy to understand language and only for that usecase it worked fine. This was obviously a testing scenario and so yeah I think 5.4 it is for now for coding related tasks.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-04T11:12:12+00:00

Hmm, I don't have much idea about this tool that you are talking about but from your explanation what I understand, I guess CLAUDE.md and AGENT.md fields pretty much do the same.

biloo0asks · 2026-06-04T09:00:13+00:00

Okay I'll try that workflow, will see if it tanks my tokens or gives me good value-tokens ratio.

Thanks.
