For a model, yeah absolutely. You'll spend virtually 0 tokens on memory safety, which means your token budget gets allocated elsewhere. If you wrote a C codebase you'd need to allocate some portion of your budget towards memory safety.

They're not talking about the model, and they're not talking about token budgets.

This entire topic is about models, the grandparent post is about models augmenting human work, and my post is about models. I think it's fine.

Let's expand the actual quote we're responding to:

> the borrow checker woes can be offloaded to the model, you focus on all the other programming logic

Then the person you responded to asked if "you" really do "focus on all the other programming logic", given that "the model" deals with the borrow checker. In other words, they're asking about the work the actual human is doing at that point. You then replied talking about the model again and token budgets. In effect, you brushed the question under the rug and imply that _everything_ is offloaded to the model, no focus by the human required.

I think it's perfectly reasonable to provide an analog to substantiate an overall point.
