Umm, was your management really willing to spend ~500USD/month/dev (if you hadnt intervened)?? Thats insane. Most companies spend way less (I hope) for AI (even regular IT companies, like where I work). Though I do believe big tech is the craziest, burning all that money for data centers and making it look like sustainable investments on their balance sheets (which they are not).

Eh, you can go through $500 in one day of coding if you're using anthropic Claude API and don't pay attention. (Not sub)

But aside from that, were did you get that number? I didn't see any direct reference nor anything that would let you break it down to $/dev
