I think it depends on the project. I think most of us could eye ball a blog directory pretty quickly and get more or less the same idea. However, give it a gnarly bit of legacy code in a language you haven't used for a while, and indeed, 11c is pretty cheap.

Claude code wastes way too many tokens compared to other agents doing the same task

robocat|8 months ago

The other agent is often a human.

A human getting paid 1 cent per second ($36.00 per hour) is 75k/yr (cost to business is ~2x that).

So if Claude manages to save 11 seconds of human time for 11 cents, that would be a good deal.

Tax section 174 makes the employee costs amortised, so spending on Claude as an expense to save employee costs is more valuable than first appearances.

Probably that's why it's so good.
