Choose Wisely: Models Should Follow Your Use Case. — By Dhanush Kandhan
A guy in my builder’s discord group blew his entire Codex subscription in eleven days. Two weeks into the month, nothing left. You know what he was building? A billing feature in his SaaS. Not a compiler. Not an operating system kernel. Not a real-time physics simulation. A billing page with subscriptions, invoices, and a Dodo Payments webhook that doesn’t send duplicate emails.
He said it with the exhausted pride of someone who just pushed to prod at 2 AM (we devs are batmans, right?). I nodded. I didn’t say anything. But inside I was doing the mental math.
