A former Cursor engineer claims he hasn't hired a human in a year, instead running 50 bots on a single $200/month plan that clears three-week sprints "before breakfast," with a one-person company doing $1.2M this year.
The accompanying 54-minute workshop explains the setup, arguing most people skip the layer that makes agent teams work past a few bots: memory management. In the linked article, two identical Grok Bot setups diverge — the one letting bots write memory freely feels magical in week one but collapses by week three. The author shares a 12-step system for building memory into your agent team. All figures are self-reported and unverified.
