This feels like when I explain to a layperson cool dev tool like GIT.
They just roll eyes and continue to do copies of the files they work on.
I just roll eyes on that explanation because it exactly feels like additional work I don’t want to do. Doing my stuff the old way works right away without having to do some explanation tricks and setting up context for the tool I expect to do correct thing on the first go.
it's clearly a preference I feel strongly about. I've been programming for over 30 years btw - I can manually do this. It's a new tool I'm trying to learn.
I was personally clocking in about 1% of the openrouter token count last year every day. openrouter has grown quite a bit, but I realize I'm certainly in the minority/on the edge here.
