$15 in an evening sounds like a great deal when you consider the cost of highly-paid software engineers


> highly-paid software engineers

For now.


The money won't be flowing forever. This will cost you $6,000 a year.


A new grad at a FANG costs ~$200k-$250k a year after benefits


If the market is new Grad at 200-250k then this product won't sell many copies.

If this product is going to be successful they are going to need the bulk of their customers at 40-100k employees.


So the fully loaded cost of copilot is ~206k~256k a year?
