This week my spending is > $2000 , and my ceo is very happy, another top user burned $1600.

You personally will not pay , but these who will will replace people who are not productive.

That’s actually the limiting factor. There will be top 5% of developers who will throw away on the street remaining 95%. No EU socialism will protect the rest . It is very unclear what is the new world market , with no web developers , no custom dashboard teams , no analytics teams , no devops whose role is to babysit human devs. From one side it’s a market for opportunity to automate , but human devs are generators of unlimited inefficiencies. Once the market settles down , the demand for lots of tools will shrink.

On my spendings to anthropic . I’m a manager, and top user I burn tokens on tickets creation , planing , even sprint filtering , for sure the most went to coding. Bugs are getting fixed by just sharing a screenshot and a sentence or two of description in 80% of the cases , all the way including to PR creation and making sure release is live and good with tests.

There are ways to cut the cost a bit , maybe 30-40% but it’s not practical .
