GitHub Copilot Token Billing Is Pissing Off Developers

GitHub Copilot just switched to a token-based billing model, and developers are furious. Lucas and Luna dig into GitHub's new pricing — how it works, why it may actually cost heavy users more than the old $10 per month flat rate, and what it says about Microsoft's broader strategy for monetizing AI developer tools. The hosts also look at Microsoft's stock, up 7.6% in the past five days, and ask whether the Copilot backlash could slow enterprise adoption. Plus, they consider what this means for the future of AI code assistants across the industry — including Google's Gemini Spark and Meta's reported AI pendant play. A focused look at one pricing change that reveals how Big Tech is trying to squeeze more revenue from AI subscriptions. #GitHubCopilot #Microsoft #TokenBilling #AIPricing #DeveloperTools #AIArmsRace #BigTech #MSFT #TechNews #AI #SoftwareDevelopment #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #TheBigTechPodcast #LucasAndLuna #CopilotBacklash Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
