Ask HN: 100k/year individual token usage?

7•alecsmart1•23h ago
I was watching the all in podcast where they are talking about devs spending $300/day on LLM tokens. I’m only able to do about $2k per month, that too on the high end, if I’m programming for 14 hours a day every day.

Is anyone spending that many tokens? How? What exactly are you’ll doing?

So who has done the math on the price point where offshore coders are cheaper than LLMs? They both need good specs, guidance, and validation of their work. So it seems to me that when the effort to manage people vs. the effort to orchestrate LLMs is about the same, and the price is about the same... what are we actually gaining here?

Apparently some of the tweets are talking about marking offshore workers with AI. So best of both worlds.

I can only imagine the cost of maintaining the 100K+ LOC codebases that are slopped out today. We can't keep growing the context windows and amount of agents, right? Or do we stick with greenfield projects?
