If you’re more worried about cost than you are being productive and getting good results then sure, stick with foundational model company apps.

“Being productive” without taking inputs/costs into consideration is an oxymoron.

But euros spent on tokens is a tiny fraction of the overall costs of the project.

A company that cares more about cost than results is probably a terrible company to work for. They will give you 10yo dell laptop with 8gb memory and complain that you’re slow when it takes 15m to build the application.

So no it’s not an oxymoron.


Productivity is literally a statement of the relationship between the result and the cost, presumably you found that out after reading the reply and that is why you switched from "productivity" to "results" in your reply.

Until you learn what productivity is we can’t continue the conversation.

Please at least try to keep track of which sockpuppet you are using in this thread sighthrowaway.
