@ramblingsteve@floss.social @jani@floss.social seems extremely short sighted from a cost of production perspective, a company should want its employees to have the best tools for productivity, for developer, a computer in good working order and great performance, monitors, etc, same for software, if employees are more productive with even a $200/month offer, that's a bargain compared to a dev wage in most western countries. If the productivity is even 10% higher (and many think it's much higher than that).

@tshirtman@mas.to @jani@floss.social but imagine a company that can cheap out on the kit if the peer pressure forces staff to buy it themselves. It becomes your problem to meet your targets and your LLM armed colleagues set the bar. Career progression becomes a pay to win game.
