LLMs do not result in bosses firing people, it results in more projects / faster completed projects, what in turn means more $$$ for a company.
Why on earth would you be hunting $20 a month subscriptions from random assed people? Peanuts.
Lockheed-Martin could be, but isn’t, opening lemonade stands outside their offices… they don’t because of how buying a Ferrari works.

When they hit the workforce, or even better, start a company guess which OS and office suite they'll use? Hint: It's not Linux and Openoffice.
Same with Claude's $20 package. It lets devs use it at home and then compare it to the Copilot shit their company is pushing on them. Maybe they either grumble enough to get a Claude license or they're in a position to make the call.
Cheap advertising pretty much.
Worked for me too :) I've paid my own Claude license for over a year at home, grumbled at work and we got a Claude pilot going now - and everyone who's tried it so far isn't going back to Copilot + Sonnet 4.5/GPT5.
