So people's salaries may vary, but voluntarily paying 1k usd out of one's pocket a month seems like quite a high cost I'm sure many wouldn't/couldn't pay.

Like if I had to choose between Claude Code and income -12k USD, I would most certainly work the extra hours without it.

I was going to say, in Australia you would be able to claim that as a work expense against your income, reducing your tax owed.

But it looks like in the US, you would need to be self employed or own a business where it is an expense. Which is a bummer.

Well yeah. Like my bills aren’t going down, so taking a haircut on the salary isn’t really a great option.
