If the productivity boost is so high, what's a good price for it? $100/month might be more than now, but how many paid hours of dev time are saved by it? Asking

If the productivity boost is so high, what's a good price for it? $100/month might be more than now, but how many paid hours of dev time are saved by it? Asking as a non-user.
- white_dragon88 3y agoIts another saas product charging per seat per month, doesnt even begin to replace an actual competent developer, it’s glorified autocomplete. If it goes any higher than 20-30 bucks, I’ll have my company drop it.
- wkat4242 3y ago20-30 bucks doesn't even begin to replace an actual competent developer's salary either, even in a super low wage country. Especially factoring in overhead. In fact I imagine that in most places this would pay for 1 hour of their time. Which you pay per month for copilot. So the question is not how many developers you save. But if you save more than one hour per month per developer. I'd imagine that will be fairly easy to achieve.
- whynotmaybe 3y agoThe productivity boost depends on what you're doing on a day to day. It saves me around 15min per day as I'm currently coding full time. For my previous job, it would save me 5min / week. And it also saves me of using the keyboard so I guess it's also better for those with carpal tunnel syndrome. A gradual pricing per request would totally work for me, cheap when I'm not using it, justified when I'm using it a lot.
