alt Hacker News> Amazon has told employees that the AI token statistics would not be used in performance evaluations.
> Managers are discouraged from using token use to measure performance, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Like CAD and architects, if you're not using LLM's while coding it's an issue, but Amazon is very clear that this isn't an official metric. I would believe managers know how many tokens you're using, but it sounds like they just interviewed a disgruntled employee who didn't like AI and published it.
>but Amazon is very clear that this isn't an official metric.
You're replying to an amazon employee who says they are being used in performance reviews, in comment thread on an article where 2 other Amazon employees say that their token usage is being tracked and they feel pressure to maximize token usage.
Do you have first hand knowledge to refute these 3 people with first hand knowledge?
The CAD thing is incredibly weird. I've never known an architect who had their CAD usage minutes tracked.
Btw I'm a big tech company and I know many people who are "token maxing". It's very common.
