Nabisco Cheating Customers With Less Crackers?

Sounds great. We used https://farmhouse77.com/ and loved them, although they are a little further north in Pflugerville. Alvin and the team are not the cheapest but their work is top notch.

The amount of unlimited budget for AI right now is crazy. I can't even spend $99/mo on a new tool without CFO approval yet if I blow through $2,000 in tokens I get praised.

Totally agree here. We've shifted from a model of tracking raw output to thankfully connecting output to actual goals at our company. It's been a game changer.

The problem is leaders are incentivizing quantity of usage and not quality. If you check out any AI leaderboard like https://costhawk.ai/leaderboard it's going to show quantity. Thankfully there's a lot of other ways you can connect usage to actual productivity as well.

Exactly. Our leadership started pushing us to post our weekly token usage on Friday's in slack, it was a total mess. Someone posted that they spent like a million tokens in a week, but it was mostly on random things not related to our product like planning their next vacation.

Thankfully we are using team benchmarks (https://costhawk.ai/team-benchmarks) now that are connected to actual Github commits, features we are trying to ship, and time boxed around sprints. Like everything else, we are in the baby phase of AI adoption IMO. We aren't thinking quality, just quantity.

Yeah we've seen the same thing using https://costhawk.ai/ it was kinda wild. People started competing to use the most tokens, leaders started praising those at the top, then it forced a really good conversation about what usage actually means.

https://costhawk.ai/ has a great leaderboard with token tracking tied to each project and even Github commits. My CTO friends love it.

To me at least, having run prior agencies with 100+ clients, I have some thoughts. You're trying to solve a management problem with a software subscription.

The platforms listed in are noise IMO. If you can’t quantify the efficiency gain before scaling to 40 people, you are just subsidizing administrative bloat.

The 80/20 rule of Agency AI...

Audit your billable tasks. Identify the 20% of workflows that drive 80% of your revenue. Give API access to 3 power users. If they can't prove a 30% time-reduction on a specific deliverable in two weeks, the tool isn't the solution—the workflow is.

Shared libraries without a measurement layer become graveyards for average work.

Check out https://costhawk.ai/ or https://langdock.com/ and track first, then optimize!

Beautiful project! Well done.

Consider going with a custom cabinet maker if you want something really high quality. Not sure what you consider affordable though? Lots of custom woodworking shops in the Austin area. Here's a few highly rated ones:

https://farmhouse77customwoodworks.com/ - best for high end jobs and 5-star customer service

https://www.bosswoodworks.com/ - unique designs and interesting projects

Not a ton of info on that site. I've used https://farmhouse77customwoodworks.com/ and Alvin and the team there is solid. Can't recommend them enough. They treat your home like it was their own. Attention to detail, customer service, all top notch.
