> If you truly couldn’t find anything then...

...you are clearly an engineer who has already decided to write their own so wasn't looking to hard, or did find something but went "I could do this better". Pretty much how many projects start.


OP said, in their post, they “Couldn't find one”

It’s totally fine to build your own implementation of something, especially if it’s for personal use or you’re not charging. OP is pitching a paid product. It’s not okay to ignore the sea of competitors and pitch your product on HN with a marketing blurb that isn’t true.

Anybody can slap together a chat UI and integrate a few LLM APIs. We need more than that if you’re charging money.


Genuine: how? I assume you're using something like cc-usage to get that value. $1k/day is tons. Would genuinely love to know how you're managing to keep the inference burning through that much a day, as I'd love to do the same, but even with 2-4 simultaneous sessions running fairly continuously, mostly on Opus for 10-12 hours a day, I get maybe $500/day. What's your workflow rig/setup look like to get you to that $1k velocity?


I use Vertex and work at a hedge fund. I just spam Claude Code Opus all day long. There’s not much to it, other than I sit at a chair for 12-16 hours and spam poor (actually, rich) Claude. I don’t use the cc usage too - I just look at my GCP bill :(


I mean, that'll do it :claps:
