And the number of tokens necessary is ultimately decided by the people that charge you for using tokens.
What’s fascinating to me from a human factors perspective is this is the first time A LOT of folks are discovering the fun chemical squirts addicts get when they use that keep them using.
Many of y’all are getting high and don’t even realise it.
But you? Nah, you’re cool. It’s those other people over there. They have the real problem.
People are using « tokens used » as productivity metric ?! « Tokens used »?!?!? That’s like, the first time « lines of code created » gets beaten for the « worst metric of software engineering » 🫠
