AI agents complete 6-week dev plan overnight, identifying critical bugs

An individual tasked AI agents with a six-week software development plan, assigning Opus to spec writing and review, and Sonnet to code generation. The agents completed Phase 0 of the project overnight, producing 31,000 lines of TypeScript with 881 passing tests. Despite the rapid progress, the AI agents' review process identified critical issues such as a secret-redaction gap, a ReDoS vulnerability, and a counter overflow, highlighting the need for human oversight beyond automated tests. The estimated API cost for this task was between $200 and $400, with the primary bottleneck shifting to user access and consent. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates AI agents' capability in rapid code generation and bug detection, potentially accelerating software development cycles.
