Thus just in: handing your employees a bunch of nail guns with near zero effort put into training them on how to use the nail guns has resulted in terrible outcomes, to no one’s surprise.
Its possible to use the tools efficiently at a low cost.
But the average dev Ive worked with has zero clue how to do this and has had zero training and will just rip through tokens willy nilly.
Hmmm, that might be true, or specifically the the whole circus env is one? It does say kinger@circus as his target, interesting!
In the latest episode we get to see the outright answer for this for Cain / Kinger
As you can see, the circus (managed by Cain the AI) uses an oldschool Windows OS, looks to be 98?
Kinger then uses CMD to ssh into some bash shell, I dunno if we get much view of what kind of OS it is, but it appears to be possibly a systemd flavor?
We also get to see that the circus was programmed in Lisp in the latest 90s, which sounds about right
Based on what we know about the laws of how the circus works, these indicate a manifestation of how these 2 characters mentally work with OSes.
Cain works in windows 98.
Kinger on the other hand visualizes stuff with linux!
Did your boss actually say this, or are you just going off of some memes you saw and think thats something happening often.
Most companies care about getting work done in as few tokens as possible now, developers that can achieve the same results but with less tokens are extremely valuable.
Not only that, but less tokens also inherently means faster.
Any company that is blowing through tokens, without any effort put into training employees how to use the tools better, deserve to fail.
