It's easy to lose track of time with these tools, he told Business Insider. Soon enough, the girls' practice has ended, and the parents flood into the changing room. He joins them — with his laptop ajar, so that the AI agent can keep running.

"I have to put it up on a shelf," he said. "I'm untying my girls' skates while looking back like: Is it done?"

I just feel bad for these poor kids. You can't leave your goddamn Claude at home while you take your kids to the rink?

When your boss ranks you based on the number of tokens you burn, there's no choice.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ohoho, I know exactly how to burn a silly amount of tokens if I want to, which is why that metric is absolutely garbage - arguably worse than ranking developer performance by SLOC committed.

If your metric is usage, it is incredibly easy to game, just send agents on wild goose chases all day long and never accept the results.

Part of the scoring at my company is how many generated lines of code you accept.

Going back to the beginning of the year, I think I’m up to 6

Have it write all of your logging code for you, it may be inaccurate but it is the least damaging place to take the hit as you can just manually search in the source code for where the print was from. They always do something stupid and non uniform making most statements traceable indirectly.

This makes my ops guys cry.

If you fully inform them on the situation, they will be cool with it. We are all in this shit together, well until everything falls apart. Add a [] to the prefix on each statement, who the fuck cares. It was the LLM that did it, not you and you were forced to use it.

People who can't figure out their power settings are shipping software. We're so fucked.

Anyone with half a working brain in computer tech would know that, if you really need something to be kept on, but checked regularly, it becomes a fucking server that you connect to using different equipment. But that's too high tech for vibe-whatevers.

"I think people think I'm whatever the equivalent of an iPad kid is for a middle-aged woman," one AI user said.

Ackshually, we think you're an absolute fucking idiot.
