With GSD, I was able to write 250K lines of code in less than a month, without prior knowledge of claude.

I could copy 250k lines from github.

Faster than using ai. Cheaper. Code is better tested/more secure. I can learn/build with other humans.

I've tried it, and I'm not convinced I got measurably better results than just prompting claude code directly.

It absolutely tore through tokens though. I don't normally hit my session limits, but hit the 5-hour limits in ~30 minutes and my weekly limits by Tuesday with GSD.

> If you know clearly what you want This is the real challenge. The people I know that jump around to new tools have a tough time explaining what they want, and thus how new tool is better than last tool.

What do you think drives the tooling ecosystem aside from VC dollars?
