So we’re supposed to start paying $1k-$1,5k on top of already crazy salaries just to maybe get a productivity boost on trivial to semi trivial issues? I know my boss would not be keen on that at least.

I can't use $20 of credit (gpt-5 thinking via intellij's pro AI subscription) a month right now with plenty of usage so I'm surprised at the $1k figure. Is Claude that much more expensive? (a quick Google suggests yes actually).

Having said the above some level of AI spending is the new reality. Your workplace pays for internet right? Probably a really expensive fast corporate grade connection? Well they now also need to pay for an AI subscription. That's just the current reality.

Paying for Internet is not a great analogy imo. If you don't pay $1k/mo for Internet, you literally can't work.

What happens if you don't pay $1k/mo for Claude? Do you get an appreciable drop in productivity and output?

Genuinely asking.
