Resonates & glad this is being tested: “… agents working on cleaner code use 7 to 8% fewer tokens and reduce file revisitations by 34%. Our findings suggest that traditional maintainability principles remain highly relevant in the era of AI-driven development, shaping the computational cost and navigational efficiency of coding agents.”🙂

Good to see if these findings can be replicated by others. Instead of being so profligate with energy maybe efficiency could be more highly valued. Internalisng the externalities could be part of this. 🫤

@randomxusr @briankrebs it is endemic and ubiquitous at this point, experian is one of many which is why it is less of a big deal and some corp are intimating much more pervasive and intrusive violations; there is little or no pushback #status quo #profligate #anodyne #prosaic

I go through garlic like an aristocratic degenerate

Recipe calls for 2 cloves .. “let’s use 8!”
