I don't know what you tried but I tried to do something in Pi what I'd have usually done in Claude and it devoured tokens (much more than Claude) and I wasn't even close to finishing the task. Mostly because the barebones Pi

The trick to use Pi is you use it in N ways if you have N use-cases. You need N set of shortcuts/plugins/aliases etc for that. Can get tiring at times. So I keep Pi for just one case - when I have to easily strip everything out fo

Yup. They just works . So satisfying. Now, Apple, shut up and take my money! Actually that is satisfying part. And please make sure I need to pay that money again in a year or two. Thank you. Happy to be an Apple user. Best company.
