Dev says $100/month OpenAI coding agent cleared a year of backlog and asked for more

A Japanese developer recounts subscribing to OpenAI's $100/month coding agent after initially thinking it too expensive. The agent then:
- Completed a heavy task he'd put off for over a year
- Handled update work across all of his web services
- Migrated his stack from a VPS to Vercel
After finishing, it proactively asked what to do next. His verdict: at that output level, $100/month is basically free.
