alt Hacker NewsI spend 400-500 dollars per day during active development at this point. However with more aggressive task breakdowns I can spend ~5k per day.
These spend rates are in part due to operating on a larger code base. Operating on a larger code base means more time searching and understanding the code, tests, test output. They are also due to going all-in on agentic coding.
It can feel painfully slow to go back to coding by hand when for a dollar you can build the same functionality in a minute. Now do this with multiple sessions and you can see where the cost goes.
Your reply answers how you are able to spend money, not if it is returning sufficient dollar value per spend..
> I genuinely challenge someone spending $5-$10k a month to demonstrate how that turns into $50-$100k in value.
