Re:Generative AI coding tools and agents do not work for me by qinsig on Monday June 16, 2025 @10:32PM (#44295264)
Avoid using agents that can just blow through money (cline, roocode, claudecode with API key, etc).

Instead you can get comfortable prompting and managing context with aider.

Or you can use claude code with a pro subscription for a fair amount of usage.

I agree that seeing the tools just waste several dollars to just make a mess you need to discard is frustrating.
