"If you haven't spent at least $1,000 on tokens today per human engineer, your software factory has room for improvement" - how exactly is that a weaker statement?

My read of it was "by today", aka cumulative. But you're right that it can also be read as "just today". The latter is an absurdly strong statement, I agree.
I would love to see setups where $1000/day is productive right now.
I am one of the most pro vibe-coding^H^H^H^H engineering people I know, and i am like "one claude code max $200/mo and one codex $200/mo will keep you super stressed out to keep them busy" (at least before the new generation of models I would hit limits on one but never both - my human inefficiency in tech-leading these AIs was the limit)
Tokens evaporate when you have Agent Swarms. Have you tried Claude Code Teammates, for example?

Only for a few days - but going from $200-400/mo to $1000/day productively seems like a huge stretch.
Also the eat tokens may be compared to single-tasking - when agent swarms move faster, I need to come back to that task sooner, slowing down the multi-tasking that allowed me to use a full 20x max subscription... so the overall usage once that is taken into account is smaller.
