Started the day early, got into flow right away. Used different AI agents, handed them screenshots, and started wiring up code directly into my app — all from the same chat.
As of writing this, I’ve burned through almost 4 million tokens.
Google AI Studio: hit the 1M token limit
same.new (premium): maxed out 2M tokens
Claude: ~0.2M tokens
💸 Cost me around $30 today — mostly Claude and same.new.
But the output? Wild.
I knocked out 4 days worth of dev work in just 1 day.
From layout to boilerplate to reusable components — the pace was unreal.
What I learned:
AI drastically speeds up boilerplate and layout work — HTML markup, basic structure, repetitive code... done in seconds.
BUT, it’s not plug-and-play. You still need to analyze, tweak, and adapt the output based on your app’s structure and UI needs.
Context is king — the more clear your prompts and inputs, the better the output.
You’ll spend less time on HTML, CSS, and wiring up basic stuff — more time on higher-level logic and polish.
It's like having a hyper-productive intern who’s super fast but needs close guidance.
TL;DR: AI is here to supercharge your speed, not replace your thinking.
It helps you code faster — as long as you know what you’re building and don't blindly trust the output.
Overall: Great ROI on time and energy.
Now I just need sleep 😅
