I cannot grasp what could drive a business to mandate the use of LLMs. I get a MS Office mandate for "collaboration", but a (perceived) productivity tool? Are there companies also forcing _and monitoring_ devs to use VS Code, or a Master 3 mouse, or BrainFM?

short version: yes

long one:

- "we will be left behind if [insert something]"
- "we need a plan to reach our goals."
- "what is the metric to allow us to track our progress"
- (see "billing engineering" where folks are paid to follow the mess that is AWS billing)
- "now we are monitoring your tokens burn rate"
- "defuneste is now our vibe coder of the week and get a free mug with banksy art"

I am lucky my workplace is a bit smarter than that.

@defuneste @monospace @fesshole My company doesn't give a free mug with banksy art. 😢

I am available to "gamified" their metrics if your company needs it :) after that I can probably managed to get some seltzer delivered at your home to keep your spirit up (and productive)!

Time to get better at getting my agent to play Sim City!
