No longer hiring junior or even mid-level software engineers.
Our tokens per codebase:
Gumroad: 2M
Flexile: 800K
Helper: 500K
Iffy: 200K
Shortest: 100K
Both Claude 3.5 Sonnet and o3-mini have context windows of 200K tokens, meaning they can now write 100% of our Iffy and Shortest code if prompted well.
