New Frame of Reference for Development: From Additive to Subtractive (opens on the source site)
I just completed a massive software port in 5 days, for less than $200 in AI costs, using 3+ coding agents (Codex Sol 6.1 High). A project I had previously dismissed because it would have required months of work from a small team of experienced engineers. I've been using AI in my development work since the tools first became available, but this was my first experience running a well-defined, multi-agent task over such a long period (context window, caching and model efficiency weren't making that realistic to me until recently). Most of my AI coding tasks take minutes to a couple of hours. I…
