Efficient token use will be the new code/vim golf.
Whether it's human token use, or future OpenClaws
I've mention before that we should have a look at Telegraph/telegram speak. There was a HUGE industry in word efficiency at that time. There are hundreds of books.

No org doing real work cares about token use costs.
This mainly just affects hobbyists.
Like "Token Usage Consulting" companies popping up now? :-D
