Oh, my sweet, innocent child.
Have you ever tried getting a company to fund a developer tool? More often than not, it's like pulling teeth, even if the service in question is a paltry $20 a month.
I've learned to pay for things like OpenAI myself because it's not worth the hassle to get a company to pay for it (for the purpose of R&D).

- irrational 4y agoI’ve been I’m working professionally in the industry for 23 years. I’ve never had a company refuse to purchase any tool I say I want or need. I wouldn’t work for any company that would. My hourly rate is way higher than the cost of any tool. It is ridiculous to not buy tools that might make me more efficient.
