    Yeah. I spend most of my day driving agents to write code, verifying the results, orchestrating work streams, and so on. The rest of the time, a Fable agent is organizing work in L…

    Yeah. One of the most productive things we did was run a dynamic workflow with Fable to scan for issues in the repo, then have it go through the findings and determine which ones c…

    Yep. I love it when someone doesn't read the whole article, posts a takedown and it gets voted to the top of the discussion.
