Man builds agent router to manage agents, burns $400k in tokens a day
sujingshen · x · 2026-10-10
A developer jokes about his nested agent-management setup: too many personal agents led to an "agent router," then a "meta-router" to view all agent activity, then a separate agent for edge cases. The result: a system burning $400k in tokens a day — and he still has to check on everything himself. A sharp satire of runaway agent orchestration.
