Honestly, I don't even see my Macbook Pro costing me anywhere near as much as using any of these AI services, but maybe I'm just not seeing a significant increase in my power bill to notice? I am the power user who uses Claude Max pretty much all the time to prototype ideas, and build things I actually use, and has given me a lot of value, I work full time and have a family to raise and care for, my free coding time is mostly limited to ideas. Now I can draft a plan with detail, review the code, run the code, test it, and use software custom tailored to my needs.
