I spend about $3k/month (subsidized by the Claude Max plan).

I guess I fall under level 3 (2?): I typically have 3-6 agents working simultaneously on the same feature, they each make worktrees, code, run tests and put up PR’s. I also have Github actions which scan for regressions and security issues on each PR.

It makes my development cycle extremely fast: I request a feature and just look at Github and look for changes to my human readable outputs, settle on a PR, merge, repeat.

The issue is that I am now the bottleneck in my system. I find myself working basically non-stop, because there is always more to do. (Yes I know I can automate the acceptance criteria but that turns to slop real fast)

So LLMs produce PR for you, and you quickly merge them? Does anyone besides you having even a little look at them?

It's interesting how quick automating others out of a job turna to automating ourselves out instead

this is where true mastery is, the best DevOps guy I ever worked with told me something that stuck with me forever, “if I do my job right, I should no longer be needed on this project.” time will tell is LLMs will allow SWEs to say the same thing…
