Will every dev compensation package now come with an AI budget?
Discussion
Been thinking how access to intelligence will create increasing disparities of productivity between first and third world devs (here)…
We all just use the company API.
I wouldn't think so. Devs would just be given API keys with allotments as part of their employment onboarding and toolset.
Yes, but people are looking for bigger budgets. Some companies are not offering much, which has become a concern. I met this kid yesterday asking for a 15K/mo budget on AI products. It's crazy.
Or just use gemini-cli https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli
if the pay is good you can afford the package yourself
Smart companies will set it to 100% 24/7 and never look back.
Sir, your base salary was calculated to account for the equipment you need, maybe lay off the avocado toast and allocate to more tokens/month
i can't wait for corporate executives to wake up one day and realize that all their employees are now just humans in the loop.
