I've built up to a very similar process, but it looks like yours is a much better oiled machine. Specifically I struggle with getting enough architecture thoughts in place for the programming agent to really do what it needs to do without me going behind it and refining its work. Your research repo is incredibly inspiring and has given a lot of think about.

It's sort of surreal to feel the change in the software development lifecycle over the last 24 months - what you are describing will very likely become the norm amongst most developers.

> Cursor is happily charging me something like $100 a day. If anyone from Cursor is reading this – is there a “solo dev building absurdly large systems” discount tier I’m missing?

I'm also paying a similar bill (but honestly I think it's incredible value). I'm curious about this comment though - I picture LLM pricing as consumption rather than per-seat (token in/token out) - would it really make sense to offer volume discounts on a single seat versus total volume? These platforms shouldn't really care about how many developers are consuming the tokens, just the total consumption, right?
