Same though here. I use Claude opus via api billing for tasks not that hard to implement but for which CC takes much less time than I would. However:

* a small PR costs 5-16 usd (I’ve been monitoring this for the past two days). Management is already pushing for us to use Cursor or a new tool called Augment Cod. * I can submit 4 to 5 PRs in a day * the bottleneck becomes:

- writing clear instructions and making the right choices - running tests - my mental capacity for context switching - code reviewing, correcting - Deployment - Even further live testing

I don’t understand how I could have 10 parallel workers without the output being degraded due to my inability to manage them. But I can see myself wasting a lot of $$ trying. And something tells me the thread is just normalizing throwing money at them

I noticed yesterday that there were 5K+ issues filed against Claude Code on github (but down to 4.8K today!), so it may well be that this is what Cherny is churning through.

If you read though a few pages of these issues, it doesn't seem to reflect too well on the quality of the code (self-written by Claude Code), so it seems the furious pace of development/bug fixing maybe shouldn't necessarily be taken as being the pace of generating production quality code. Claude Code is of course very useful, so people are very forgiving about issues, but I can't imagine most corporate software being very well regarded if the quality was such that it had 5K issues reported against it!
