I've shared the full transcript of every agentic coding session from implementing the unobtrusive Ghostty updates and provided commentary alongside about my thinking and process.

I'm regularly asked to share non-trivial examples of how I use AI and agentic coding tools and this felt like a golden opportunity to walk through my process with a well-scoped, non-trivial, real-world, shipping feature.

Total cost: $15.98 over 16 sessions.

@treydogsacid I think this aligns with what I wrote in maybe a slightly more inflammatory way. I guess he’d agree with me
