Already there are companies paying more for coding tokens than for programmer salaries.

  Doesn't necessarily mean that's a good idea.

  That's my point. They made those decisions without any consideration for the long run, which would have required them to project the cost of AI services years into the future. Obviously management didn't do that and had no way to do that. It made current earnings look good, though, which was enough for them when they made the decision.

    Not sure what your point is, but they are firing lower performing programmers so that the top programmers have more tokens to spend.
