Dev's agent runs full Stripe integration rehearsals, tokens rival the app itself
tristanbob · x · 2026-11-07
Developer tristanbob shares that his agent is doing an extremely thorough Stripe integration: two sandboxes plus a full rehearsal of every possible customer action. He notes this is "the other CI/CD" — and that the verification pipeline may have consumed as many tokens as the primary app itself. A telling observation that agent-era validation and rehearsal are becoming a major share of token spend, worth factoring into engineering budgets and architecture.
