Any fellow software engineers using paid GitHub copilot?
Much to my chagrin, the company I work for has done a lot in terms of steering/ pushing all software development be done through AI for some time now. And what gives me much grin, GitHub changed...
Much to my chagrin, the company I work for has done a lot in terms of steering/ pushing all software development be done through AI for some time now.
And what gives me much grin, GitHub changed their pricing structure for copilot. I'll skip the details the key fact is what used to be about $30/month per person + maybe few bucks in overages is now resulting in us hitting our usage cap on the 2nd day of the month. Overage costs this month will be hundreds of dollars per developer. I know this is an unexpected expense as I mentioned it casually to our CTO who had no idea.
I'm curious if this is going to force them to rethink the AI strategy. The incessant pushing to use more and more AI maybe will finally bite them on the ass so much they have to ask us to stop or pull back? Or maybe they'll just plunder our salaries, who knows.
I'm curious if anyone else is in the same situation.
