Crazy how popular this post is on HN, are this many people actually using expensive paid models? Is everyone on HN a millionaire? Or is someone botting all anthropic posts?
- tossandthrow 6mo ago200USD a month really is not that much. Especially not for an employer who is used to pay 150-250k a year for an engineer. Especially for the value it provides.
- big-chungus4 6mo agoI don't think that the majority of HN users are employers who are used to pay 150k-250k a year
- tossandthrow 6mo agoNo, but a large proportion are likely employees of these employers
- cambaceres 6mo agoClaude Pro costs $20 / month which gives you access to their latest models.
- heartleo 6mo agoIn the long run, tokens may become a new signal of inequality — access to the most powerful models could be limited to those who can afford them.
- hijodelsol 6mo agoI mean, the 100$ plan is less than the hourly rate of any consultant / senior dev in developed countries. So if it can save even one hour a month, it's cost efficient for the customer (at the current, subsidized rates, of course).
- big-chungus4 6mo agoSo are the majority of people on HN senior devs from a developed country, who like using LLMs for coding? I find that hard to believe
