Agentic Coding and Token Costs: Why the 10x Claim Is a Myth
On LinkedIn I keep reading that agentic coding makes teams 10x more productive. It is good marketing. It has little to do with what we measure in real projects.
In episode 2 of Prompt & Proper, Steffen Ochsenreither from Swiss Post and I take that number apart. And we talk about the other side of the same coin, the one that gets far less airtime: what tokens actually cost, and how solid the economics behind them really are. The episode is in German, and this post captures the core of the conversation.
