I feel like I still have yet to see any decent answers to this question; Are professional SDE paying for Claude on their own dime, and then logging into their personal account and somehow integrating Claude Code (or other LLMs) into their work repos that way?

The startup I work for has chosen their flavor of AI subscription and its frankly not developer focused. Instead they chose Google because of the productivity tools in the Google App suite.

I want to try Claude Code but the reality is that I don't want to be the martyr that tells my team lead that I want to see if AI can do (parts of) my job for me. It feels pretty sketchy or maybe even completely wrong to use something like this on a company repo I don't own without permissions, so I haven't done it. I suppose I will just have to continue to wonder if the agentic coding services are smoke and mirrors because I somehow don't know anyone who has used them extensively either and I have no clue when I will be able to use one with the strings attached of it being on a free-tier...
