Show HN: Burn, baby, burn (those tokens)

Never would I ever have imagined a world where companies are going all in on the idea of measuring productivity by how much an employee is able to spend company money. Try to explain this to a time traveler from 2020. What a time to be alive.

Token-maxxing is a silly idea that does not measure true productivity and quality. I can easily burn through tokens and not produce anything useful.

you laugh but this is so real. executives love metrics. I do feel like I need to keep the prompts going.
