- I use zed for my ide and highly recommend it.

     It is super fast, intuitive to use and open source.

- For my models I use opencode go

     which from my experience is practically unlimited if you use glm and deepseek

- for important tasks I use codex

     which I don’t consider an extra cost because I already am paying for the ChatGPT subscription.

- So all in not counting the ChatGPT cost (which I was paying anyways) and since zed is free I’m only paying 10 dollars a month for coding.
