I’ve finished work on the backend of an app that’s focused on things someone uses the phone for briefly, and when I got to the front end, I’m burning tokens over safety flags. I’m guessing I’ve lost 10% of my tokens over api errors, but now this false flag over Gmail API and eBay scraper (the normal “follow this product” type of work) has resulted in half of a dozen false starts. Every time a file, commit, summary is involved, I’m getting these false positives just burning tokens. I’ve tried changes in language, like “data fetching” for scraping and using “publicly authorized” or “official” in dealing with external APIs, but it’s still choking production. I would likely have been done if these API safety problems weren’t constantly forcing a restart.
