@romeu

I have a good soluce :

- please generate code
- please add unit tests 100% coverage
- please add e2e tests 100% coverage
- please ingest the logs of the tests to see if all error are useful

@romeu instead of unrolling all your loops, you can use tokens to have the AI do it for you!

@romeu may my life be evaluated by how long i can make a roll of quarters last in an arcade.

@romeu That's not a productivity metric, that's a m metric of not being one of those Heretic AI-Haters Down the River that the middle manager keeps hearing so much about. In other words, it's an ideoogical purity test.

Step 1: Write code
Step 2: Feed code into company mandated AI asking it to generate a series of prompts that use as many tokens as possible to create the same code
Step 3: Ask for raise for exceeding target performance metrics
Step 4: Sharpen resume for when company goes bust
