Got in the way: High daily API costs for agent coding.

Managing context size and efficient token usage is a skill. I have an Anthropic API key for work, and if I use sonnet/opus all day for agent coding, it ends up costing about ~$25. I am going to need more cpu/ram to run multiple agents in parallel to spend much more than that.
