A month ago I published llm_cost_tracker (a self-hosted Rails gem for attributing LLM spend by feature/user/tenant) — and almost all of it was LLM-generated. I shipped it without really reading it, got called out, and the criticism was fair. This is an honest write-up of what that taught me: writing code got cheap, so the actual work moved to review and ownership. I’m still cleaning up generated code in the gem and looking for early adopters running real LLM calls in Rails to tell me what breaks. MIT.
