@romeu That's not a productivity metric, that's a m metric of not being one of those Heretic AI-Haters Down the River that the middle manager keeps hearing so much about. In other words, it's an ideoogical purity test.

Step 1: Write code
Step 2: Feed code into company mandated AI asking it to generate a series of prompts that use as many tokens as possible to create the same code
Step 3: Ask for raise for exceeding target performance metrics
Step 4: Sharpen resume for when company goes bust
