Work pays for my work stuff and I have both claude and codex there. On the personal side I sometimes go days without using it. It's more like my assistant to do annoying terminal shit on my home computer and like personal projects I guess. It's plenty for that.

Picked up the most recent SO developer survey that features relevant info, the 2024 release: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2024/work#coding-outside-of-...

The supermajority of respondents did report that they do engage in some coding outside of working hours, for one reason or another. I'm impressed; I'm basically a zombie after hours, rarely in any shape to touch anything technical. Good for them.

But then only 19.3% of respondents ticked that they code for freelancing reasons, and only 15% said they're doing it in an attempt to bootstrap a business. These groups were the only types that suggested revenue generating after-hours activity, and they even overlap to a non-obvious-to-me extent. But even if we pretended they didn't, that adds up to like a third at best.

So when you say:

> I don’t understand how’s that not the default option for all professional developers.

that's in contradiction with this data (and imo common sense), which suggests that the supermajority of professional developers simply do not perform revenue generating software development activity outside of work hours, period. Therefore, for them, the ROI on any potential AI subscription is a flat and constant zero.

Unless you envision people working at "bring your own license" type shops, I don't know how this is supposed to make sense. These are work tools, corporate should be providing them already. But then I'm clearly not from a "wealthy" country either, so YMMV.

Every developer who writes code for a living should get an AI subscription from work and not have to pay for it himself.
