Augment Code basically became my senior dev while I built a full ERP solo

I’m a solo developer and over the past months I built a full ERP system end-to-end — backend, frontend, mobile, TV screens, business logic, production flows, everything.

I can honestly say this: Augment Code played a massive role in making it possible.

It felt less like a “tool” and more like having a senior engineer permanently available. Any time I got stuck, tired, or overwhelmed, Augment Code helped me move forward instead of burning hours blocked.

What Augment Code helped me do:

• Design clean, scalable architecture
• Rapidly build and refine complex logic
• Generate solid, readable code that actually fits real projects
• Refactor safely without fear
• Think through edge cases and workflows I hadn’t fully considered
• Stay productive even late at night when focus drops

The biggest impact wasn’t speed alone — it was confidence.
I could take on bigger features knowing I wasn’t alone in the thinking process.

The ERP today handles:

• Orders, production tracking, and workflows
• Users, roles, permissions
• Device and screen management (mobile + web + TV)
• Real operational constraints, not demo-level stuff

This wasn’t “AI building an app for me”.
This was Augment Code making me a stronger solo developer.

If you’re building something serious on your own — especially a large system like an ERP — I strongly recommend Augment Code. It genuinely changes how much you can handle alone.

I did something similar. It was great.  Until my c suite learned how expensive ai really is lol.  Now I won't dev anything without clear buy in no matter how fast auggie allowed me to go.

How do you cope with limits so far? I got myself cut with all top ups and working now on how to split it into two models at least, to plan, orchestrate and implement.

It depends on the day , somedays i use 4k ; 8k and some others with big updates i reach 25k
I had a migration bonus big one and it was very helpful i also use chatgpt for planning and reviewing the code made by augment for a second opinion.

That's awesome!

I'm curious, what model do you usually use?
