Spending Too Much Money on a Coding Agent

Is $200/month a lot of money when you can multiply your productivity? It depends but the most valuable currency in life is time. For some, spending thousands a month would be worth it.

My butt needs to be in this chair 8 hours a day. Whether it takes me 20 hours to do a task or 2 doesn't really matter.

This is why communism doesnt work lmao

maybe the issue is capitalism where even if your productivity multiplies x100

your salary stays x1

and your work hours stay x1

Quite literally not.

Capitalism encourages you to put your butt in your own seat and reap the rewards of your efforts.

Of course it also provides you the decision making to keep your butt in someone else’s seat if the risk vs. reward of going your own isn’t worth it.

And then it allows your employer to put another butt in your seat if you don’t adopt efficiency patterns.

So: capitalism is compatible with communism as an option, but it’s generally a suboptimal option for one or both parties.

Maybe in a true -capitalistic- market that'd happen.

but the state keeps meddling and making oligarchs and friends have unfair advantages.

It's hard to compete when the system is rigged from the start.
