I cannot even get close to max usage, even doing the stupidest stuff. I have dashboards, I never personally interact with Jira or Gitlab. Code reviews, implementations, dashboards for everything. I’m at like 25%.

Coding output has never been the issue anyway. Anyway, it’s all so ridiculous.

You guys have limits?

My company has a dashboard showing everyone's usage costs, and #1 and 2 are both clearing $100k a month in tokens

Seriously, I’ll never understand why companies have lost the concept of investing in people. You could get some truly excellent talent for that kind of money 🤦🏻‍♀️

One upside to this whole shitshow is they may actually get rid of entire HR departments ( because no humans)...so there's that.

Is it that they aren't actually paying anthropic that much?

Start building dumb shit or make it do useless tasks that you weren't going to do any way. Everyone should maxx out their accounts for frivolous stuff.

Feels like there should be an AI coding version similar to the old adage: "Typing speed isn't equal to programming speed (or quality)."
