I don't understand. Are you suggesting that the proper volume of agent work is achieved with the $200/month subscription, or that $30,000/month ($1,000/day) of tokens is necessary? I think there is a big difference between $200 and $30,000.

I'd be disappointed if it turned out you needed to spend $20,000/month to implement the interesting ideas from the software factory concept.

My hunch is you can get most of the value for a lot less of the spend.

Used ~1-3% of my cursor sub with gemini flash last night, made a personal image hosting front-end hosted with python to use from my phone with Tailscale. Took all of maybe the better part of a hour and a few prompts saying 'add this thing or change this thing I don't like.' made it a PWA and its like an app on my phone now. It feels to me a lot of this is productivity theater. If the work is there to be done, it will be done.
