The premium models are worth 10% of your income at least.
replyThere is no future without these models. They truly are an entirely different league than the cheap stuff. You can move mountains with Astra or Opus 5.5.
10% of a software engineer salary is a lot of money. That's just ridiculous.
replyLike the other commentor said, its just going to be a net negative, because whatever productivity increase you supposedly do get, you will see exactly 0 of that translated into salary increase.
People generally don't have 10% of their income to just give away on a whim.
replyAdditionally, if I'm 10% more productive I don't get a 10% pay increase.
