Do you thank your agents when they did a good job?

The model's reward function is its own reward. No need to reinvent the wheel.

All the time. Sometimes they do an absolutely bang-up job.

Only for the models where I'm not paying per token.

Me: Thanks! Claude, you did a great job.

Claude Code: Anytime. I'm glad we nailed it together. Happy to help. bla bla bla....

Me: Thanks! Codex, you did a great job.

Codex: Understood.

It finally clicked to me when Peter Steinberger mentioned that 50% of Codex's workforce is European.
