    This is like measuring a carpenter’s work output by how much they use their hammer, not how much gets actually built. I hope every company that does this sorta bullshit goes belly up.

      Using their hammer would be the tools they use to actually code. This is more like measuring a carpenter’s work by how often they get advice from the workers at Home Depot.

        If the company is only measuring token usage and not actual output, it’s more like measuring a carpenter’s work based on how many hammers they buy.

        Yes.

        But I do like that, by this measure, I have attained mastery of plumbing, woodworking, landscaping, and have become a master gardener.
