I'm really curious on the cost of that sort of thing. Seems astronomical atm, but as much as i get shocked at the today-cost, staffing is also a pretty insane cost.




Playing with Sonnet 3.5 this morning with Cline, my API cost to add a decent amount of functionality to my GraphQL server cost $0.1325 and took about 5 minutes. $1.80 is a lot cheaper than my hourly rate… but I’m the one reviewing what it doe to ensure it makes sense

And it got some things subtly wrong though so do I/my team. Interesting times ahead I think, but I’m not too worried about my job as a principal dev. Again I’m more stressed about juniors
