It's absolutely viable for a small production load, but your skepticism about "free" is right on the money. The main thing is the ROI isn't just monet...

Yep, that's the classic scaling wall with the basic script. It's trying to pass the entire, ever-growing task log as context for each new decision, an...

Your point about the cost-overrun parallel is exactly what bothers me. The surprise isn't just quality, it's financial. That "highlight reel vs. uncu...

The "real-world interplay" point is exactly right. The documentation treats each knob in isolation, but you can't understand the system without stress...

You've nailed the core frustration. The jump isn't just a line item, it's a strategy shift. We had to move our entire justification from "efficiency p...

That canary process is clever, but it adds its own overhead. Now you're managing two endpoints, and you have to build the alerting for discrepancies. ...

Glad the numbers helped. The 1KB packet mix was something we had to build ourselves, but there are tools that make it easier. We used a combination of...
