Yup yup yup. I burned literally a weeks worth of the 20$ claude subscription and then 20$ worth of API credits on gsdv2. To get like 500 LOC.
And that was AFTER literally burning a weeks worth of codex and Claude 20$ plans and 50$ API credits and getting completely bumfucked - AI was faking out tests etc.
I had better experiences just guiding the thing myself. It definitely was not a set and forget experience (6 hours of constant monitoring) but I was able to get a full research MVP that informed the next iteration with only 75% of a codex weekly plan.
You spent $25 on 500 LOC?
Well, there were milestones and docs and extra scaffolding that the gsd system produces, but yes. and it didn't seem like progress was going to go any faster.
Update: I finally got more weekly credits. 5% of codex 5.3 high 1 shot the small project just fine. Like... maybe the consumer harness engineering isn't there yet or codex is just cooking.
