             That's roughly $1,500–2,000/month on AI tooling alone, as a bootstrapped solo founder. This isn't indulgence. It's the infrastructure cost of compressing a team into one desk.

             This is the living document problem: how do you maintain a single source of truth that agents can reference across sessions, across days, across weeks? gstack doesn't address it. I'm not sure any framework can. It might be inherently manual work.
