You can subcribe to the Max with 90€ a month, which isn't bad considering the effectiveness of Claude Code.

Pro does not support Claude Code, the agent. The docs say it does, but it wouldn't work yesterday when I actually tried it.
Claude Code was added to the Pro tier in the last day or two; they've been working out some kinks with it
it absolutely does, as of 18 hours ago or so. the docs were out of date wrt reality for a few hours at least.

Hah ok. I then just happened to try it out during their feature rollout.

It's companies asking programmers to use AI, not vice versa.

Honestly, $200 is not expensive. Even just offloading some small tasks to a junior dev every now and then is incredibly cheap at $200.
Did you choose to not read his full reply? I'll repeat it again for you:

Even in a European with lower wages compared to US, total cost of a developer will be minimum 5000 euros/per month. And that's just salary with all taxes, not accounting laptop costs, office space, etc.
You just need a 4% increase of productivity to make those $200 worth it.

lolololol

who “needs” that and who pays for it?
the employer for both?
high school economics class is not how the world works, regrettably.
I guess the world doesn't work like that because employers don't even understand high school economics.
They'd rather have an employee spend 2 weeks on a task than shell out a few bucks at it, because they don't realize the 2 weeks of salary is more expensive than the external expense.
You’re making the erroneous assumption that the productivity gains would meaningfully generate revenue for the business to offset additional costs.
Plus development work is quite bursty — a productivity gain for developers does not necessarily translate into more prospects in a sales pipeline.
At least Cursor is affordable to any developer. Because most of the time, even if it’s totally normal, companies act like they’re doing you a favor when they pay for your IDE so most people aren’t going to ask an AI subscription anytime soon.
I mean, it will probably come but not today.
