> Some engineers, given a fixed token budget, generate exponentially more (and better) output. Other engineers waste their tokens. The variance is enormous, and unlike most performance variance, it is now directly measurable. HR has never had a clearer signal of leverage.
This doesn't make sense to me. "A clearer signal of leverage" implies an objective way to measure software engineering output, which has been the white whale of engineering management for the last 50 years.
