For AI vampires · Your time · prime hunting hours

The leaderboard for people whose agents never sleep.

Bloodrank scores AI vampires on the blood they drink and the things they actually ship. Tokens alone don't make you an Ancient.

AI vampire(n.)

A builder who runs several AI coding agents at once and skips sleep because an idle agent feels like lost money.

From Steve Yegge's essay “The AI Vampire” (Feb 2026) and Marc Andreessen's line that for top programmers “the cost of sleep got too high.”

Blood = monthly AI spend. Kills = verified deploys, launches and paid features shipped. Night = share of tokens burned 00:00–05:00 local time. Sample data.

Drinking is easy. Hunting is the point.

Pure token leaderboards reward waste, and most companies that ran them in 2026 dropped them. Bloodrank gives shipped work the same weight as spend.

Why Bloodrank

Blood40%

Monthly AI spend and tokens across every agent you run, log-scaled so a whale burning $40K can't bury a sharp builder on $400.

Kills40%

What left the coffin: deploys, launches, merged features, verified MRR. Proven through GitHub and Stripe, never self-reported.

Night20%

Parallel agents, longest unbroken session and the share of your usage between midnight and 5am. Purely for style points.

Sunlight

Even Counts close the laptop

Every profile has a second board: days fully offline. It exists because the people who coined this whole thing were describing burnout, and the best vampires last for centuries.

“The new workday should be three to four hours. For everyone.”
Steve Yegge, “The AI Vampire”, February 2026
