Reduce Fable tokens by 80%, simply by not using it!

"this" being "plan with expensive model, implement with cheap model".

Anyone who follows HN would be hard-pressed to disagree; this architecture is re-invented twice monthly.

> Not because it is aesthetically pleasing. Because every other shape eventually runs into the same boring failures: context rot, self-grading, goalpost drift, and merge chaos.

Actual failure isn't boring. But struggling through a generated software project that celebrates its own genius and doesn't have a single self-critical or genuinely reflective thing to say...at least watching paint dry I might get giddy off the fumes.

I'm not interested in critiquing the project itself, either, you'll just run that through a model, too.
