Cutting entry-level development can make sense on this quarter's spreadsheet. The talent pipeline has a much longer timeline.

Token consumption is an input. Engineering productivity is an outcome. Treating them as the same metric can get expensive.

Ardan Labs @ardanlabs.com · 24/09/2026

Your AI token cost is growing. But is your engineering output growing with it? More tokens can produce more work, but the relationship isn't always proportional. We look at AI costs, architecture, and local inference with Kronk: www.ardanlabs.com/news/2026/yo...

Your AI Token Cost Is Growing. Is Your Engineering Output Growing With It? | Ardan Labs News

Token spend is climbing faster than engineering output. Why AI cost is often an architecture problem—and what leaders should measure instead of consumption.

What if your #AI application didn’t need a separate model server? AI infrastructure can quickly turn into a web of model servers, vector DBs, orchestration tools, and APIs. Kronk AI takes a different approach. Read this week’s Technical Tuesday: www.ardanlabs.com/news/2026/kr...

A good answer is only part of the picture. Also measure what it takes to produce it: → Memory → Tool calls → Retries → Latency AI agents need to be evaluated on both results & resource usage.

Every AI agent eventually gives you this choice: Set a limit. Or let it keep going. Retries, context, parallel tool calls and sub-agents all consume resources. The problem isn't giving agents autonomy. It's giving them unlimited autonomy.

This is a simple example of why you need to be looking at diffs when the model/agent is making code changes. This is why vibe coding is going to cause all sorts of problems over time with codebases. There needs to be a human in the loop.
