I have the same experience. Slow is smooth with AI is still productivity improvement.

But is it enough of an improvement to justify the cost? (Since the current raises are probably just the beginning)

[therealdrag0]

It depends :). It’s enough I pay for it for my silly side project. Historically we’ve paid a lot for software tools. IDEs and even documentation used to be pretty expensive. AI seems at least on par with those.

I've never paid for any developer tools or documentation.
