exactly, it's like Bobby Fischer playing 10 games of chess simultaneously

one of the interesting properties of public forums like SO is that the maintainers of software packages get visibility into the problems and frustrations that their users experience

we're losing that signal when the Q&A behavior shifts into language models

You can configure the status line to get a feel for token usage:

[Opus 4.6] 3% context | last: 5.2k in / 1.1k out

add this to .claude/settings.json

"statusLine": { "type": "command", "command": "jq -r '\"[\\(.model.display_name)] \\(.context_window.used_percentage // 0)% context | last: \\(((.context_window.current_usage.input_tokens // 0) / 1000 * 10 | floor / 10))k in / \\(((.context_window.current_usage.output_tokens // 0) / 1000 * 10 | floor / 10))k out\"'" }

Here's how I would market this:

Create "packages" of context for popular API & Libraries - make them freely available via public url

Keep the packages up to date. They'll be newer than the cutoff date for many models, and they'll be cleaner then the data a model slurps in using web search.

Voila, you're now the trusted repository of context for the developer community.

You'll get a lot of inbound traffic/leads, and ideas for tangential use cases with commercial potential.

Are 7 free weekly eval runs fair compensation for sharing your evaluation and fine-tuning data with OpenAI?

"The takeover of io will provide OpenAI with about 55 hardware engineers, software developers and manufacturing experts"

6.5B / 55 = $118 million per engineer
