Expense-policy Memes

Nothing says "we're revolutionizing the future" quite like dropping $600 on Anthropic API calls while nickel-and-diming your employees over a $23 Uber Eats order. You know your startup has its priorities straight when the AI tokens get unlimited budget but Karen from accounting is breathing down your neck because you went $3 over the meal limit. Welcome to 2024 startup culture where burning through Claude API credits is "strategic investment" but feeding the humans who write the prompts is "cost optimization." The irony is chef's kiss—spending hundreds to ask an AI how to write better code while your devs are rationing their lunch money. At least when the company runs out of runway, you'll have really well-written rejection emails generated by Claude.
