half a day vibecoding with Opus/Sonnet 4

blown away by Opus, but also blew away a lot of money on this

there is a very real monetary premium to marginal intelligence

It’s amazing the difference between Claude 4 and Claude 4 Max in Cursor. My money is just flying out the window and I don’t seem to mind. 

My hope is that these premium models lead to less ads and sponsored results, but I do hope the difference remains marginal though so it’s not a case of more money = higher productivity and better opportunities
