Well this is humbling. I've been running Claude on a Mac mini for a side project and was just looking at my API bill wondering if there was a cheaper way. Seeing someone at $4.5K makes me feel a little better about mine. Cool idea for a leaderboard though — turns the pain of spending into a game.

That’s awesome for competing with my developer friend!

Like https://www.viberank.app/ and similar

i'm not sure if burning tokens should be the measure of success...

Just like LOC added/removed isn't

Live pain meter...

Competitive claude code before gta6 is insane lol
