Minimax 2.7 is fine for most web stuff. It's slightly worse than Claude at backend, but works great for frontend.

They're all slop when the complexity is higher than a mid-tech intermediate engineer though.

Kimi is surprisingly good at Rust.

This right here. Value prop quickly goes out the window when you're building anything novel or hard. I feel that I'm still spending the same amount of time working on stuff, except that now I'm also spending money on models.

10x more code output is 10x more review.

We've gone from doing the first 90% and then the second 90% to the first 90% and the second 990%, its exausting.
