If it’s anything like AWS there’s hundreds of people making bespoke software factory setups, enhanced interfaces for ai tools, spinning up 10 parallel review agents with the best model available, etc because the budget is basically unlimited.
The other part that is kind of comical is that the software factories keep growing quality gates and automated tasks that need to run for every commit, PR, deploy, etc. Then someone goes "oh, but now it's slowing us down", so a new thing gets added which decides when it's appropriate to run the gate, and on and on endlessly until it's a gigantic soup of actions that are running which provide negligible, and more frequently negative value over the software lifecycle. People are making big expensive messes of agents and acting like it's galaxy brain stuff.
I find it a bit comical. AI tools are so easy to pick up, and it's unlikely you've pushed some highly critical features which couldn't have waited for a few months.
Token maxing really is a thing if your token budget is unconstrained.
No, because not all work is productive
Tokenmaxxing is just the new pr-maxxing. Proxies truly are the root of all evil.
That sounds both very fun and very stressful.
