Claude Code was the tipping point for me from "that's neat" to "wow, that's really useful". Suddenly, paying $200/month for an AI service made sense. Before that, I didn't want to pay $20/month for access to Claude, as I already had my $20/month subscription to ChatGPT.

I have to imagine that other professions are going to see similar inflection points at some point. When they do, as seen with Claude Code, demand can increase very rapidly.
