I think there‘s a serious issue with people using AI to do an immense amount of busywork and then never look at it again. Colossal waste.

Everyone is writing. Nobody is reading.

In my over a decade of experience as a software engineer, writing code was always a smaller fraction of my time compared to reading code, debating code with colleagues, and wrangling ops. Optimizing for velocity of writing code will inevity lead to spaghetti at best and vaporware at worst.

I don't understand the point of automating note taking. It never worked for me to copy paste text into my notes and now you can 100x that? The whole point of taking notes for me is to read a source critically, fit it in my mental model, and then document that. Then sometimes I look it up for the details. But for me the shaping of the mental model is what counts

First of all, this is more than just note taking. It appears to be a (yet another) harness for coordinating work between agents with minimal human intervention. And as such, shouldn’t part of the point be to not have to build that mental model yourself, but rather offload it to the shared LLM “brain”? Highly debatable whether it’s possible to create anything truly valuable (valuable for the owner of the product that…

Say more?

How do you anticipate teams deploying this? I’m wary of GitHub for sensitive business documents, and wonder what an easy secure agent friendly deployment looks like. Cloudflare or GCP are maybe good candidates

Hey, contributor to Wuphf here, Right now this is setup to be run on your machine. Git is used to do versioning but we don't push that to GitHub, nor do we keep any insight into what you have or what you're doing. If there is long term value people are getting out of Wuphf we'll be happy to build out a hosted business/enterprise compliant version.

Thanks. I mean self hosting a shared version of this on internal infra but designed to be slightly collaborative.

Man, there's no point in replying. You are argueing with a non-human therefore the conversation is without meaning and impact and thus a waste of time and energy.

Cool idea. But is anyone actually building real stuff like this with any kind of high quality? Every time I hear someone say "I have a team of agents", what I hear is "I'm shipping heaps of AI slop".

Even though I did not know about Andrej Karpathy's tweet from earlier this month, I ended up converging on something very similar. A couple of weeks ago I built a git-based knowledge base designed to run agents prompts on top of it. I connected our company's ticketing system, wiki, GitHub, jenkins, etc, and spent several hours effectively "onboarding" the AI (I used Claude Opus 4.6). I explained where to find company…

how is this related to parent comment . slop.

There is also discussion, ping pong with the agent, exploring parallel paths, quickly experimenting, analyzing code, researching things. A code agent can do more than "write me as much code as possible, go!".

I thought this was parody at first as well for a redundant useless product as it was named after the redundant useless product of the same name from The Office (Wuphf.com)
