alt Hacker News> managers trying to get their teams to stop thinking that their token use will be used as a proxy for their performance.
Because it is going to happen. Do you think metrics are tracked for fun?
Even if current leaders don't do it, next people might do it, how do you tell new leaders that we don't look at this metric? Metric exists to take action based on it
You missed the second half of my comment: There’s more to a metric than making one number go up. It’s becoming a real problem when people use 10X more tokens to get similar work done because they’re tokenmaxxing.
Nobody wants 90% of their token budget spend going to the 10% of people wasting them for number-go-up purposes.
Inefficient token use is going to become a metric.
