How are you handling rising token costs?

Token bills are creeping up as we ship more AI features, and I'm curious how the community is dealing with it.

A few things I'd love your take on:

What are the benefits of asking AI to redact threads & produce other marketing material for us ?

One benefit I see is that it will usually produces something very politically correct that will usually go through the endless censorship that has taken over the internet (personally on the web since beginning of the 90's it was something else entirely, a mix of academic papers & free flowing ideas on clumsy graphics all over the place - oh boy that was so much decentralized and fun).

But then I only see problems: flatness, falseness, shallowness, lack of originality, creativity and most of all the dependency it slowly develops.

DevCleaner 1.8.0 - now cleans up your AI coding tools too

DevCleaner is a macOS menu bar app that finds and clears the gigabytes your dev tools quietly hoard - build caches, logs, temp files, old SDKs. Version 1.8.0 is our biggest scanner expansion yet, built around how developers actually work in 2026.

AI coding tools, covered. New scanners for Claude Code (telemetry, backups, memory logs), Cursor CLI (browser logs, AI tracking, project metadata, saved plans), Codex CLI, and Cline - the tools flooding your home folder with data you never asked to keep.
