I have no doubt some people can do that with a large project, a /goal loop, and (probably) poorly defined requirements.

My experience (using Claude models, but not Claude Code) is about $20-40/day worth of API costs in a collaborative mode, picking the right model for the task. Plan, implement, review & test features or bugs.

I get where I'm going faster, but not 10x faster nor 100x the cost. :-P
