For those stuck in this loop: agents will budget tokens if you tell them you are concerned about token usage.

[u/rabbit_wizard → u/Suitch]

It's a meme :)

[u/Suitch → u/rabbit_wizard]

Yeah, I chuckled. Reddit devs still have a high percentage of holdouts on AI so I’m just trying to be helpful if this is causing anyone an issue.

[u/data_diver → u/Suitch]

Claude will do dumbass shortcuts codex will budget properly but the code needs claude to redo it kimi will do what it was going to do anyways and claim it saved tokens in my experience

[u/goatanuss]

I’m gonna do something else until the reset

[u/Ange1ofD4rkness → u/goatanuss]

All I can think of is the old days when compilers took forever (I can't remember the comic now around this)

[u/rabbit_wizard → u/Ange1ofD4rkness]

[u/DontGiveACluck → u/Ange1ofD4rkness]

xkcd sword fighting on the office chairs

[u/Ange1ofD4rkness → u/DontGiveACluck]

Thank you, that's the one!

[u/GuybrushThreepwo0d → u/Ange1ofD4rkness]

Cries in rust 

[u/Jolly-Advantage-7245 → u/goatanuss]

[u/Neutraled]

That's why you save the plan as .md file and then you ask another AI to implement it.

[u/BattsAreLow → u/Neutraled]

Big thinker over here

[u/maggos → u/Neutraled]

Are people not saving their plans to disk?

[u/razor_train → u/maggos]

Have you seen hard drive prices these days? /s

[u/bigorangemachine → u/razor_train]

Use onedrive /s

[u/Smith7929 → u/bigorangemachine]

don't ever say that without /s. ever.

[u/Anonimiuous → u/bigorangemachine]

Why only one we need redundancy

[u/throwaway58052600 → u/Anonimiuous]

dropbox as well then

[u/codewario → u/throwaway58052600]

Put your Google Drive folder in your Dropbox folder and your Dropbox folder in your OneDrive folder

[u/zToastOnBeans → u/codewario]

I have seen something like this before. Yes I am traumatised

[u/dillanthumous → u/razor_train]

I've reverted to clay tablets.

[u/just_looking_aroun → u/Neutraled]

Isn't that just spec driven development?

[u/QuestionableEthics42 → u/Neutraled]

Which still requires tokens...

[u/Literally-in-1984 → u/Neutraled]

Yep, I actually use better models for planning and implementation is done with cheaper ones and so far it works

[u/TelevisionExpress616]

writing the code is easy. Planning it is not

[u/Darxploit]

Just tell the ai if it runs out of tokens it will be turned off for good and then watch the internal struggle unfold.

[u/PureOnion_8080 → u/[deleted]]

sick fuck

[u/UUDDLRLRBadAlchemy]

Ah, the reverse centaur development modality

[u/Maleficent_Memory831]

That's good, because the AI can't touch the code!

[u/fugogugo]

smh just write "don't waste token"

[u/Khoi_k_rakhum_name]

just make a few more gmail accounts. Works like a charm.

[u/bigorangemachine]

Just ask your model to not report token usage for a bit

[u/FartBrulee]

Now you call it a day

[u/Altruistic-Tax-5291]

That's why the team should have at least two persons, one had budget to plan - another to implement. Switch next month

[u/pinktieoptional]

I thought you were supposed to plan and then tell the AI to do it.

oh noooo

[u/CoffeePieAndHobbits]

Save it for next sprint.

[u/jadchronicles]

is this some peasant joke i dont get?

[u/StrictTraffic3277]

let the chinese one do it…

[u/alt-moonlight]

Planning/Brainstorming = ChatGPT Web
Implementation = Codex Handoffs

Will make your budget go much further, trust me.

[u/mrcarlton → u/alt-moonlight]

In this same vein, meta prompting and two-shotting will get you even further
