Masad praised Replit's Fable integration, arguing fewer model mistakes lower total cost even at premium token prices (X/Twitter). It's a direct counter to the Fable economics backlash, Theo burning $1,000/day on a $200 plan, the 120K-token system prompt, the 30% tokenizer tax. The practitioner thesis is right and underrated: a model that one-shots a working feature is cheaper than a cheap model you babysit through five wrong attempts. Cost per token is the wrong denominator. Cost per shipped result is the one that hits your actual time.
