> Using LLM agents is expensive: if they give you already 50% more productivity, and your salary is an average salary, they are not. And LLMs will only get cheaper. They are only expensive in absolute, not in relative terms.

critical distinction: unless your getting paid comparable to your ouput (literally 0 traditional 9-5 software jobs I know unfortunately) this is infact the opposite - a subscription to any of these services reduces your overall salary, it doesnt make it higher...

then there is the case i know the dishonest are doing is firing of claude or whatever and going for a walk
