I've never seen anyone vibe code irl but maybe thats just because I work with 60 year old devs 😂

my son graduated today

it was awesome, smiles and tears of joy from us all. it was a jubilant atmosphere.

but something seemed off. it almost seemed as if all the graduates had some sort of ai inside joke between them

my son and others were wearing shirts that said I wouldnt be here without claude (my son does computer science), people constantly BRAGGING about never having done a single piece of work and one guy went so far as to print the claude logo on his mortarboard!!!

I was in disbelief. I have used copilot few times but had never understood the scale of which the younger generation rely on it! when my wife (his mom) was hugging him she told him how proud she was of him graduating, thats where he looked her in the eyes with a grin and said "no mom, I CLAUDUATED" and then a few minutes later said that he had graduated with a "magna cum cum claude"

That is why I am here, I wanted to ask whether this is a national/global phenomenon or whether I should bring this up to my son as him and his friends are the only ones doing this?

I have been speaking to my developer friends and answers vary WILDLY

A few of them say that they can survive on the free tiers, most say that they spend between $20-$150 but I have had some absolutely insane answer. One guy told me that him and his only other technical teammate at his company blew through $65k last month!!!

So, how much are you burning through?

My developer friends (who were obsessed with Claude Code a month ago) are now all jumping ship to Codex, which has left me wondering:

Is Codex better than Claude Code?

I keep on hearing that it is cheaper, has lower usage limits and is overall better but is this really true?
