Most of us work for someone else and, unless that person is paying for the subscription, the _value_ it adds is irrelevant unless it results in better compensation. Furthermore, the advice was given to upgrade to a $200 subscription from the $20 subscription. The difference in value that might translate into income between the $20 option and the $200 option is very unclear. | | |

Maybe you can use it to take the day off earlier or spend more time socializing. Or to get a promotion or performance bonus. Hopefully not just to meet rising productivity expectations without being handed the tools needed to achieve that. Having full-time access to these tools can also improve your own skills in using them, to profit from in a later career move or from contributing toward your own ends. | | |
| ▲ | parineum 3 days ago | parent [-] | | I'm not disputing that. I'm just pushing back against the casual suggestion (not by you) to just go spend $200. No doubt that you should ask you employer for the tools you want/need to do your job but plenty of us are using this kind of thing casually and the response to "Any way I can force it to use [Opus] exclusively?" is "Spend $200, it's worth it." isn't really helpful, especially in the context where the poster was clearly looking to try it out to see if it was worth it. |
