@raucao @micahflee Me too. But I switch to Deepeek-V4-Pro when the going gets hard.
@micahflee True. I've been using DeepSeek V4.1 Flash almost exclusively for software development for a few weeks now, and it's been both incredibly high-quality and ridiculously cheap for what I got out of it. And a good harness helps a lot, of course.
