Absolutely, have warned my juniors of this. Doesn't stop malicious compliance though, I can just prompt and burn tokens with source material from my assigned tickets for no reason perfectly fine.

I look at my colleagues' screens and they're prompting shit like 'restart this program' and 'is [service] running correctly'. I have below average prompt frequency because I know crazy shit like #!/bin/bash and ps aux. It's so goddamn insane.

And to top it all off, my token count is above the average, it's just the prompt count that is low. Got questioned about it earlier this week.

Seeing a lot of the same thing has helped me understand how people are getting the claimed 10x productivity.

I tried hard to tokenmaxx one month and couldn’t do it as for most tasks, I’ve already figured out the solution while reading the ticket and vim/emacs-fu is more enjoyable than prompting and waiting. And for other tasks, I just knew the technology to do something with the least amount of effort.
