This is great - it's about time someone updated the discourse on LLM energy usage to reflect that coding agents use massively more prompts than occasional questions to ChatGPT
Simon estimates that a day of coding agent usage comes out close to the energy needed to run a dishwasher
Simon estimates that a day of coding agent usage comes out close to the energy needed to run a dishwasher
Whenever I read discourse on AI energy/water use that focuses on the "median query," I can't help but feel misled. Coding agents like Claude Code send hundreds of longer-than-median queries every session, and I run dozens of sessions a day.

The difference between "dev" and "ops" is not about who writes code. It's 2026, dude: everyone writes code.
The difference is a separation of concerns. Are you responsible for writing code to generate revenue, or building the systems for code to run on?

It failed, but not for lack of trying. It failed because the technology wasn't good enough.
