Well, if tokens = cost, and verbosity = more tokens, then smaller code is a financial (and human!) win. Although I'm worried vibe coders are just going to have LLMs modify minified code in caveman mode so they can have 100 agents in a swarm..
On a more serious note, I wonder if this might eventually encourage people to use languages that are a little harder to write but much more concise (functional languages for instance). When you're paying per-token enterprise bean java style verbosity totally sucks
