Is "Tokenmaxxing" a Flex?
- pascal-maker 5mo agoApparently, 'tokenmaxxing' is the new way of showing off how productive you are as an engineer. Honestly speaking, I don't think it's a 'flex' to have burned so many tokens on just one feature or MVP project, especially with the rate limits Anthropic is using.
- rvz 5mo agoIt's an exercise in donating your money to AI companies and showing how much money you can waste on 'tokens'. You are scamming yourself.
