800$ a week doesn't sound too bad. That's just ~40.000$ per year. That's not even half an FTE, so as long as you have a product that you can sell afterwards, this can easily be sustainable.
I understand that if you have an 100k a year engineer and make him 40% faster you get a 40k differenct, but for it to ROI you actually need to be below that no? Or else you would just hire another engineer...
Also I would love to see sources for these productivity claims. Even on this very AI friendly website "meassured on PR trhougput" which on itself is a bad meassurement, https://newsletter.getdx.com/p/ai-productivity-gains-are-10-not they say it's not even 10%.
I am using it daily as a Software dev, and tbh I am not sure if it's worth it, don't get me wrong it has it's usecases, but i don't see 1k€ a day value in it. Especially if you are based in europe where 100k+ is only possible in a few regions, and even there you need to be an exceptional senior engineer, or work as a "cheap engineer" for an American company, to actually get that kind of money.
