If you wanted to use kWh, you'd have to change my comment to something like "requiring several racks worth of expensive silicon and 800+ kWhs of power per "vibe dev" per day". But... why do that? Just divide the terms in that sentence by 'day', and the "per day" disappears, as does the 'h' in kWh. Or another way: Why pick 'per day'? Why not per week? Or per month? Or per hour? or ....
Better still, instead of doing "X energy per second per hour for each vibe dev per day" - which is just obviously silly in terms of all the units of time being multiplied and divided - just get rid of the extra, redundant additions of time and just say "X energy per second", i.e. W. ;)
