Anthony Ronning(@anthonyronning):💯 I get that everyone is different and it may take time to ramp up properly so that it's not just token maxxing for the sake of token maxxing. But $4k - 10k on tokens per month is entirely reasonable and preferable than starving a talented engineer. Way more for the 100x'ers.

A $500k engineer costs $2,000 per working day. If $200/day of LLM tokens makes them 20% more productive (which is absolutely true today), that’s one of the easiest ROI in the company. The expensive thing isn’t tokens. It’s underutilized engineers.
