We're a startup, and every role uses AI for many tasks, at times quite efficiently. There's no organised strategy rn, just the generous limits incentivising the use.

The only organised effort, I'd say, is on the engineering side with eventual creation of shared custom skills for coding agent that go into the repo.

Hardware and provider juggling is a way to go, although I think it is also worth mentioning that the cost is not only the price-per-token, but first of all, the amount of tokens used.

Depending on what one builds, comprehensive documentation and applicable skills and memory tools often allow for a substantial reduction of tokens previously used by the agent to comprehend and remember what is being built

In an unlikely scenario you haven't stumbled upon the superpowers (https://claude.com/plugins/superpowers), I really recommend the /brainstorming skill there. The plugin itself leans into engineering domain, but this specific skill makes claude think better and bring up and ask thoughtful stuff before it gets to a solution part

Not sure if I got the question right, but there are benchmarks like SWE pro and stuff. There's whole another debate whether you can trust it or not, and whether the labs are training on those benchmarks, but that's one way to measure that.

Other than benchmarks, I'd say that's your own test suite

Now, that development and prototyping is way cheaper than before, how would you say an approach to ideas validation change? Which types of hypotheses are better and faster tested using via vibe-coding, and which should still be verified like we used to?

Both CC (mostly pet projects and automation), and Cursor (mostly at work, because I still read the code, interact with python notebooks, etc.)
