What? You know there's only 24h in a day right? I work 8 of those and most tasks takes my agent far longer. And thats not including me correcting it, adjusting the spec so it does the right thing, etc etc. And I don't have anyone doing a PR waiting, I go straight into production.

It sounds like either your “tasks” are too large or you have some drag somewhere like test cases being too slow to execute.

I’d look into where the model is spending its time and see if you can save some time. Eight hours is more then enough time to have an entire new microservice up and running and to adjust existing microservices to utilize it.
