"Use Claude Code for FREE" is a Trap
Why free AI coding via Nvidia NIM and OpenRouter is a trap. The Cheap-Intelligent-Fast trilemma, 40 RPM rate limits, Opus 4.7 vs GPT-5.5 vs MiniMax M2.7 benchmarks, and why your first AI coding experience should not be the free one.
Your Coding Agent's Best Feature Isn't the Code
Why Claude Code beats Codex, Copilot, and every other coding agent in 2026. The developer experience of terminal AI coding agents matters more than the model. Statusline, /insights, hooks, and the features that make the 8th hour feel like the 1st.
