AI coding ke 8 stages — aur cost ki baatein
Steve Yegge ka ladder ChatGPT mein prompt dene se lekar agents ke poore hierarchy ko orchestrate karne tak jata hai. Yeh jaan lena ke aap kis stage par hain — aur sweet spot kahan hai — aadha khel hai.
01Ladder, ek ek step karke
Steve Yegge ne ek bohot popular post likhi thi jisme unhone un stages ko describe kiya jo aap AI ka zyada se zyada use karte hue cross karte hain. Ised read karein aur check karein: aap zyada tar kis stage par hain?
Stage 1 · AI autocomplete & ChatGPT
ChatGPT se sawal poochna, AI autocomplete use karna. Aap answers khud copy-paste karte hain.
Stage 2 · Sidebar mein agent
IDE sidebar mein coding agent jo har change se pehle permission maangta hai. Aap har step approve karte hain.
Stage 3 · Sidebar mein YOLO
Wahi agent, par aap sab accept kar dete hain. "Go for it, I trust you."
Stage 4 · Agent main window le leta hai
Agent poori screen cover kar leta hai. Aap ki attention code par nahi agent par hoti hai.
Stage 5 · CLI par shift hona
Terminal mein Claude Code YOLO mode par. Aap araam se baithte hain ya door chale jaate hain.
Stage 6 · Agents ki choti team
Ek nahi — multiple agents (3–5) aap ke CLI mein ek sath chal rahe hain.
Stage 7 · 10+ agents, aap conductor hain
10+ agents ek sath run ho rahe hain aur aap in sab ko coordinate kar rahe hain.
Stage 8 · Agents orchestrating agents
Ek poori hierarchy: manager agents worker agents ko run kar rahe hain — testing teams, design teams.
Week 1 stages 2–4 cover karta hai. Week 2 stage 5 (CLI) par focus karta hai. Week 3 6, 7 aur 8 add karta hai. Lekin real enterprise software ke liye sweet spot stage 5–6 hai. Five aur six par hi reliable, scalable value milti hai.
02Cost ki baatein
Paise ke baare mein seedhi baat karte hain.
Aap poora course $0 mein kar sakte hain
Aap ko koi API cost dene ki zaroorat nahi. Resources mein free models set up karne ke tips shamil hain.
Bohot zyada spend karna bhi aasan hai
Agar aap 20 agents run karenge toh paise kharch honge. Kkuch situations mein yeh worth it hota hai, par faisla aap ka hai.
Best output ke liye: Cursor free trial use karein, phir $20/month Claude Code plan Weeks 2–3 ke liye.
Cost ke mamle mein aap driving seat par hain. Aap decide karte hain ke aap kitne spend karna chahte hain aur apna usage monitor karte hain.
