10-person Spawn ships 77,000 changes a month, spends 30x payroll on AI tokens

jsnnsa, founder of Spawn, published "How I Built the Most AI-Pilled Company in the World": the 10-person company shipped 77,000 substantial changes in 30 days — about 108 per hour, around the clock — and spends 30x payroll on AI tokens, shipping at nearly Anthropic's pace.
Gergely Orosz amplified it as a wild experiment in pushing SOTA AI to its limits, enabled by choosing an environment (a game) where letting AI ship straight to production is an acceptable risk. A rare first-hand look at an AI-native company's org and engineering practice.
