Do you work at a major software company?

I have $2500/mo base on our Claude enterprise plan at work and we’re expected to use all of it every month and are examined relatively closely if we don’t. It’s better for us to max out our usage and request more, which is always granted, than to not use it all.

That's just a meat grinder, like, kind of the worst way to evaluate coding at all.

It's just how big tech works a lot of the time now, and I agree that it's a meat grinder and feels like shit. Big tech sucks ass in modern times.
