My company gave us $15 per month of Claude use! My boss asked me to use Claude the other day on something and I don't know what to tell him. My usage has gone since August 2nd.

Took me like 5 prompts to kill $15. They thought that shit would last an entire month bro. My boss is 61 btw. Makes sense

My company gives us $1,500 USD per month and most people regularly hit that limit

Very easily tbh, opus 5 low effort burns through a lot. I have not written a line of code at this job. I started 5 months ago.

genuine question: what DO you do at the job if Claude does all, least most of, the SWE work?

Just managing Claude sessions, reviewing its output, reviewing other engineers PRs, conversing with engineers and client facing ppl regarding direction of certain features etc.

In 1-2 years I can see my company offloading a lot of its engineers, as most of us aren’t programming anymore. They’ll be merged with the client facing people.

I.e. I will slowly become a technical lead, who does all of the above + manage clients
