I searched on google about the cost of running Gas Town. The Gemini AI response claimed Gas town costs $100 / hour and can spit out 4000 lines of code per hour, so Gas Town costs 2.5 cents per line of code.

I tried tracking down where those numbers came from and the sources were a bit sketchy. Can anybody who has used Gas Town confirm those numbers, or report their personal numbers?

Using regular Claude code I can generate 4k lines an hour. Using some bash I can generate 4k lines of code per second.

Lines of code per hour is a bad metric.

Can it solve a problem using production quality code that doesn’t take four times as long to review? That sounds like something I would pay $100 for.
