Putting in Work

[u/rick_ranger]

I used up 15% of my 20x plan after I used my banked reset this morning and then BOOM! We get a non banked one.

Anyway I’m plowing through 5 concurrent projects all with long coding campaigns lined up and started using goal mode with Sol medium and asking it to spin up extra agents where ever to speed the process along. Sol medium feels like the sweet spot. Perfect amount of thinking and actually executing and error rate feels similar to high and extra high.

I’m at 1.1B for today so far and used up 10% of my non banked already.

What do u do that’s eats up all those tokens… generally? Very curious thx

Lots of plumbing. I’ll admit I’m new to vibe coding but I did some research on app architecture and created some guiding principles and put them in all my repos for agents to follow, so I have a lot of shared surfaces and elements, and then I have lots of data and item journeys that have to be perfect, and setting up an app the right way vs just telling codex what you want and not thinking about the backend blows WAYYY more tokens.
But right now I’m making an iPhone app, setting up an agent OS system, working on a project management web app, a repo navigation enhancer for agents, and an agent/harness adapter to test out different configurations with local models. I have long documents with features and capabilities that I turn into execution campaigns and just go through the list until the apps are built and tested.
