| Kai's verdict | A-tier for the right use case. Not for solo devs. If you manage engineers, try one license. | S-tier for coding. If you write code of any kind, this pays back the $20 in a day. | S-tier in the agent category. The first one I'd give to a non-technical friend. | S-tier infrastructure. The one platform every AI dev eventually uses. |
