Asking claude to implement a single feature that takes under 30 minutes consumes 10-30 dollars of tokens in api costs.
 help



And if the engineer bills for $100/hr or more, the trade off is worth it

Why is everyone still operating under the assumption the current token costs will remain so heavily subsidized? We could see $200-400/hr in token costs once these companies need to turn a profit

Why would you do that? Why not use it to create a detailed plan and let it implement by a low cost model?
