At Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce and other large companies, devs are purposefully burning tokens (and money!) to inflate their AI usage and hit AI usage metrics which they treat as targets.
I wouldn’t mind seeing lines of comments and external documentation as metrics. Perhaps as a ratio to functions or sections. I know, requiring it would just lead to crappy documentation, but that’s typically better than none at all, and there’s a lot of folks out there just too busy with their brilliance to write up what they just coded.
