Developer Evan Boyle reports merging 3,033 PRs in one week (GitHub graph shows 2,834 contributions in a single day). Cost comparison: Spawn charges $40 per change; he gets $11 per PR on Copilot Fusion. Simon Willison calls it a fascinating case study of the sharpest edge of agentic engineering. Boyle's core insight: the trick isn't more tokens, it's knowing which ones are worth paying for.
