ralph-starter vs doing it manually

I tracked one full week of development. Half the tasks with ralph-starter, half by hand. Same sprint, same project, same me, same coffee intake (a lot).

ralph-starter works with multiple coding agents. I use Claude Code for basically everything, but I wanted to actually test the others on real tasks instead of just assuming. So I ran the same task on Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and OpenCode over the past few weeks. Some surprises, some not.
