How much are you and your coworkers spending on AI coding tools at work? I’m talking about Cursor, Claude Code, etc. Not all AI-powered SaaS, just the stuff that’s metered by token.
Moreover, if you spend that much on tokens, that sounds like a skill issue and you may be creating a lot of technical debt. I don’t see how anyone can have the brain capacity to handle enormous code bases.
I cannot imagine productively spending $250k/year on LLM coding - you'd need some kind of massive tree of agents reviewing each other's work and I think even then you would struggle to keep them on-task and sanity-checked. However, I don't make $500k a year so what do I know...
