    With products coming out like this, many claim to do basically the same thing. How is this better than Claude Code's built in agent orchestrator? Do I need 100 agent types? How do …

    I'll add to the conversation another interesting technique from Chris Voss, which is to use no-oriented questions. People like to say no. (I'm not sure what this cognitive bias is,…

    I've been in the industry for something like 15 years. I've been using LLMs to help me create the stuff I always wanted but never had time to make myself. This is how LLMs can be u…
