Your job is framing houses. A big part of that is using a hammer to drive nails. A rational person might expect their employer to make sure the house stands up, or even look at all the nails holding it together. But the world is so far from rational.

Your employer doesn't actually own any hammers, they rent them from OpenHammer (which rents closed-source hammers). OpenHammer bills your employer every time you pick up the hammer, whether you do anything useful with it or not.

Your employer just looks at their bill at the end of the month, and they offer a round of applause and a pat on the back for their most productive employees... you know, the ones that picked up the hammer a bunch of times?

So this "tool" just picks up a hammer a bunch of times, not doing anything useful with it or anything. It's mostly meming on how stupid a lot of employers are getting hyped on AI.

    Your example isn't even far fetched. A friend of mine who worked in construction knew a crew of framers whose employer paid them based on the number of nails they used. Of course, they did exactly what their dumb employer should have expected them to do: Use way more nails than needed. Any place a nail would fit, they added one. He said listening to the crew work was literally a non-stop rapid fire thunk thunk thunk thunk as at least one of them was busy emptying his nailgun into the work at any given time. No idea how they stayed in business, but people giving dumb incentives is nothing new.
