Solo – with an agent team

I work as a solo entrepreneur. My team is made up of agents – no big office, but plenty of parallel terminals. All source code is created this way: for clients and my own projects, averaging 25,000 to 35,000 lines per day. Four machines, four Cursor instances, up to nine projects at once. Sounds like a lot? It is – so here is a quick peek behind the scenes.

  • Solo entrepreneur – source code built together with the agent team
  • 25,000–35,000 lines of production-ready code per day
