Burn baby burn. Token inferno.

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.

Are you a startup looking to show investors your hefty AI budget? Are you an engineer trying to top the AI token leaderboard? Wanna show your friends how "AI Native" you are? Look no further, I created this for you.

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.
