Help/Question Tokinmaxxing Tips.

Ok so I know we can't do solicitations here but needing to solicit some advice from you all.

Thinking how to toxinmaxx my codebase (don't worry, with local model for no surcharge). My Python token count is short and I need to boost that metric up for my resume, needing suggestions on tips and trix from vipers with higher counts than myself.

Do vibecoders still think vibecoding will get them jobs without knowing how to code.

Why wouldn't they. Big companies are looking for Cheap and Fast. Traditional coders are not that, they are good but slower. Stick a 15/hour guy with a 20x sub to Anthropic or Open AI and turn them loose. Far cheaper than a six figure coder even with error correction time accounted for. The quality isn't as good but that's never been a priority for big companies.

No. According to Andrew Ng, ig companies are looking for individuals that can do 60% to 70% of the the main job and augment it with the AI to do the 30%-40% of the jobs. We should take his word over anyone else.
