Agreed. My little solo dev SaaS app’s production pipelines push almost two billion tokens a day.

Haha, I never tire of the AI haters downvoting stuff like this.

Down with reality!!

Or, everyone finally realizes that token burn is not the same as productivity. Maybe they just down voted for the questionable spending brag.
We were talking about whether these metrics are meaningful. I was just pointing out that even a tiny one-person company can burn a lot of tokens.

As to whether the token spend is questionable, the number I quoted is for my production AI pipelines, not for coding. And my customers (and profit margin) seem to think the spending is valuable.

Questionable spending aside, GGP is providing information about how a specific metric may not measure what people think it measures. There is value in that comment.
