Or, increasingly, how the company values your time. If Claude Code can make a $100K/year dev 10% more productive, it's worth it to the employer to pay anything under $1600/month for it (assuming fully loaded cost of the employee to the business is twice salary).
Productivity and business value are not linearly related. It could provide 0 business value to make someone 10% more productive.
I was thinking of productivity as generation of business value rather than something less correlated like lines of code produced. But sure, it's probably more accurate to directly say "business value".
