I suspect they weren't as efficient as they could be with token use either. Sounds like they were trying to encourage non-developers to vibe code stuff

I'd argue you have a lot more to worry about with developers as far as token usage goes because they're the ones who know how to rig up these wild workflows where tens of agents simulate an entire software development team. The non-developers are probably going to be sticking more in the realm of iterating via chat.
