A NEW TOKEN RULE FOR ENGINEERING LEADERSHIP

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Chainguard now expects its engineering managers to be at the 50th percentile of token usage among their direct reports. Managers who use too few tokens lack the context needed to manage and move results forward. Managers who use too many tokens need to focus on increasing token usage amongst their teams. Right around the middle means that both managers and their teams understand what their tools can do.
