This is pretty cool.. I like the idea, could I make a semi-snarky feature request and could we add the estimated power consumed to produce results for each sess

This is pretty cool.. I like the idea, could I make a semi-snarky feature request and could we add the estimated power consumed to produce results for each session ?

Soon we will have low carbon developers

  We all were low carbon developers once

    Maybe the few that were WFH prior to AI. I just calculated my carbon output for commuting and going to lunch daily versus WFH and using AI and it's wayyy less. Let's all save earth, stay home and use AI.

  Let's start with npm and node_modules first - I think it is responsible for at least half of the global warming.

Greta would be proud, but I’m not sure how the number of tokens relates to energy consumption.

  Soon the AI companies will have different tiers of plan based on carbon output. For $200 per month they’ll only use carbon-free power sources for your prompts. At $100 they’ll use nuclear, then $20 per month for coal, and then there will be a free tier where your prompts are powered by throwing baby seals into a furnace.

    This may be pedantic, but I'm guessing baby seals are a renewable resource.

      It would be on the same level as saying burning wood for power plants would be considered renewable. Is it "Green" now.. Two different things.

Or just straight to CO2. Google said 1000 tokens emits 8.3g CO2. How many tokens used in a heavy vibe coding day? Average US daily per capita is like 40kg CO2

  I don’t understand the concern of this. Let’s say it says you’ve used 1.521kg of CO2 today. How is that actionable? A single flight from JFK to LAX produces around 20,000kg of CO2. Using the 8.3g value means a flight is equivalent to 2.41 billion tokens.

    if you take the long view, flying is irrational too

      If you have some time, feel free to open a pull request — even just with a description or clarification of what's going on! It all sounds super interesting, but I’m still trying to fully grasp the business logic behind it Once I get the idea, I’ll be happy to jump in and implement it. Repo is here if you're curious: https://github.com/Maciek-roboblog/Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor/pulls https://github.com/Maciek-roboblog/Claude-Code-Usage-Monitor...
