		alt227 13 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: PHP 8.2.35 Yes, but the point is how many tokens does that cost and how often do you have to do it? Its all very well saying "All it takes is $1k tokens and you have your own software" but then it is not mentioned how often that needs updating, how much time and how many tokens that will take. Often the maintenance is much more arduous then the initial conception.

Probably a couple of dollars. In reality I'd probably just ask Claude to set up dependabot or something then it's essentially free.

That forum software is around $500/year (if you want your own branding which I assume they do).

To be fair that is more reasonable than I expected, but still... PHP.
