I agree, I'm actually generating just over of 20,000 lines of code each day at my company. Part of that was the mandate and leaderboards around token usage, but also they started using pull requests as an explicit metric. What I do is usually pull around 5 or so tickets at once, spin up 5 different agents on their own branch, have them work until completion, and then spin up two more agents to handle the merge request.

I'm not checking the code since the code doesn't really matter anymore anyways - I just have the agent write passing tests for the changes or additions I make, and so even if something breaks I can just point to the tests.

Some days, the tickets are completed much faster than I expect and I don't hit my daily token expenditure goal, so I have my own custom harness that actually hooks up an agent to TikTok, basically it splits up the reel into 1 second increments and then feeds those frames to the LLM for it's own consumption. I can easily burn 10m tokens a day on this, and Claude seems to enjoy it.

Personally I want to thank you Simon for putting me onto this "vibe engineering" concept, I really didn't expect an archaeology major like myself to become a real engineer but thanks to AI now I can be! Truly gatekeeping in tech is now dead.
