I think in this future they don't think a software engineer is making that much, maybe a nice 50k a year, 65K after 10+ years on the job

Still doesn’t make sense if you believe that AI is making a meaningful boost to productivity.

If you are the kind of person who thinks AI will drive down the wages of software engineers that much, you have to think that it is at least a 2x multiplier.

$65k salary all in for a company is easily $100k. So spending anything less than $100k would be what you would aim for.
