with cline you can give it a huge action plan and it will grind away until it's done. with all the context shenanigans that cursor and copilot do, it can't handle multiple tasks as well. then they are farming requests from the user so they make you click to continue all the time.


Just tried Cline and it lost the plot and ground away $5


This is the thing people need to be most aware of with all of these tools. I like how Roo Code shows you the costs.

It's going to take a while before companies catch up here and realize the "hidden costs" of AI. In a few years I think the narrative will shift to how efficient one is at using AI.

I can only imagine someone somewhere wanted to know "how much does it cost for a line of code?" And for decades no one could answer this. Frustrated with this, the neanderthal business man now turns to AI and is in ignorant bliss with the new found fire about to burn down his house.
