although, if i'm out of tokens and have to wait a full day, i won't bother doing some things manually because the day i'll spend doing something won't take more than 1 hour the next day when tokens are available again.
- MikeTheGreat 1mo agoThat seems like a somewhat orthogonal point? Like, if I'm a carpenter and my batteries all run out / I can't actually power my power tools then the best course of action is to go home and recharge all the batteries instead of trying to hand-cut 100 pieces of lumber today. After all, the power tools can do it a lot faster (and with less effort) than I can. I say this as someone who's watched a bunch of woodworking videos but hasn't actually done this myself :)
- whatsgolden 1mo agoI read that more so as, I'm a carpenter and my batteries have all ran flat, so I'll put them on charge and do something else today. I'll cut up the lumber tomorrow when the batteries have charged.

- TeMPOraL 1mo agoAt this point at least half of your day is spent doing work that you shouldn't be doing in the first place, but over past decades companies saw it fit to eliminate specialized roles with legible paychecks, and smear the work they did on everyone else until it disappears from the books. Self-service and office suite software is largely responsible for this.
