- AI coding cost is a major concern for large companies due to high usage and untracked token consumption.
- For bootstrapped founders, AI coding tools create capacity that would otherwise be unavailable, enabling faster feature development and product decisions.
- Model discipline is crucial; using less expensive open coding models for routine tasks can make AI cost-effective with high ROI.
- AI coding can be a high-ROI tool when used with control, especially for founders with limited time and capital.
