It is like drugs in the sense I have to keep going to my boss to ask for more tokens. They expect us not to write any code by hand and have a bot that checks so eventually I run out of tokens every few days and have to ask them for more. I can't work without them ( I actually like writing the code by hand anyways but they said not to lol ). Then they get mad when I use too many tokens so idk what the fuck they want anymore.

I just want to make useful things and not be micromanaged anymore
