> The economics is spending a few hundred bucks on software for an IC you're already paying over ten grand a month

Let's be fair here, the endgame is not "a few hundred bucks a month." Not for how much money has been invested. How much extra you have to spend to make developers how much more productive, and will companies go along with it is the trillion dollar question.

A long time ago a vast majority of people on earth were farmers. They used relatively simple tools like scathes.

Over a few centuries better tools and technology made it so that <5% of the population in rich countries are farmers. They use tools like million dollar harvesters.

You know I can just lookup the costs per seat right? It's not that much and not everyone is a heavy user at an org. And for code the costs are falling per compute cycle.
