The Most Underrated AI Coder of 2025
|
Hey Reader, You know that feeling when you find something so good, you don't want to share it? Yeah, that's me with Claude Code right now. Let me explain. What Is This?Claude Code is an autonomous AI coder from Anthropic, using Claude (duh). In my book, it was already the world's best-kept AI coding secret. And that's because, until last week, it only ran in the terminal. Which would probably scare 99% of you away... But that has just changed. Claude Code now with with Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and even JetBrains. The World's Best AI ModelClaude Code uses Opus 4, the most powerful AI coding model released to date. I tested it a lot in the past few days, including building apps and websites like this. I even one-shotted a Stripe integration as a demo, which totally worked. This thing is insane. But here's the catch: Opus 4 is expensive. Like, really expensive. If you pay per use/token, which most people do, it will blow your budget in hours. Any message you send might cost... $0.30, $0.50 or more! That's where Claude Max comes in. A $100-200/month subscription for Opus 4 access. Is It Worth It?Yes, and here's why. Anthropic did something crazy, by including Claude Code use into the Max subscription. That means, you can code away as much as you like, inside that subscription. And as I said, I've been hammering this thing for days. I'm on the $100/month plan, and I have never hit the limit. I did come close twice, when it downgraded from Opus to Sonnet 4 after a few hours. But I never actually hit the limit (yet). And if you somehow do hit the limit? There's a $200 tier with 4x the usage. If you're serious about coding with AI, this is the most powerful setup available right now. Plus, you're getting all the other Claude features as well with higher limits. The Bottom LineWhile everyone's fighting over which $20 AI tool is best... The pros are quietly using Claude Max to get Opus 4 at a crazy discount. As always, this is not sponsored, just sharing what works for me right now. 💯 Talk soon, Rob P.S. See Claude Code + Opus 4 in action in my last YouTube video. |

Hey Reader, I just spent months testing every AI tool that matters. Thousands of dollars later, I found an AI stack that builds apps faster than anything I’ve ever used. Here’s what I currently use, and what you should be using too. My EXACT AI Tools Setup 1️⃣ AI Editors Cursor Ultra ($200/month) The best AI editor out there right now. I get a full suite of features and can see files being edited in real time. Claude Code Max 5x ($100/month) This is both a blessing and a curse. Best AI...
Hey Reader, The AI coding world is on fire right now. Cursor, the tool everyone used to love, is suddenly in the midst of a sh*tstorm. And honestly, most of the outrage isn't entirely unfounded... Here's what actually happened (and what you need to know). The $20 Dream Is Dead For months, Cursor offered unlimited AI coding for $20/month. 500 fast requests. Unlimited slow requests. Pure joy. But here's the thing everyone knew but nobody wanted to admit: $20/month for unlimited AI was never...
Hey Reader, Last week, something happened that should've broken the internet. While everyone was busy arguing about GPT 5 and Grok 3.5... ... both OpenAI and Anthropic quietly shipped the most important update of 2025. But nobody noticed. This is not clickbait, I promise. And it's going to make a lot of AI coders very, very rich. Let me explain. The Problem Nobody Talked About When MCP servers launched, everyone lost their minds. "This changes everything!" they said. Influencers wouldn't shut...
