$100 to save 15 minutes implies that you net at least $800,000 a year. Well done if so!


When forecasting for developers and employee cost for a company I double their pay but I'm not going to say what I make and if I did or not. I also like to think that developers should be working on work that is many multiples of leverage over their pay to be effective. But thanks.

You missed this part. Being able to quickly fix things without deep thought while in flow saves you from the slowdowns of context switching.


That $100 of value likely costed them more like $0.1 - $1 in API costs.


It didn't cost me anything, my employer paid for it. Math for my employer is odd because our use of LLMs is also R&D (you can look at my profile to see why). But it was definitely worth $1 in api costs. I can see justifying spending $200/month for devs actively using a tool like this.
