@dang with the launch of open claw I have seen so much more LLM slop comments. I know meta comments like mine aren't usually encouraged, but I think we need to do something about this as a community. Is there anything we can do? (either ban or at least requiring full disclosure for bot comments would be nice). EDIT: I suspect the current "solution" is to just downvote (which I do!), but I think people who don't chat…

Nothing about the parent comment suggests AI, except the em dash, but that's just a regular old punctuation that predates AI.

Punchy sentence. Punchy sentence. It's not A, it's B.

The actual insight isn't C, it's D.

The thread is missing the forest for the trees. The interesting bet here isn't git checkpoints—it's that someone is finally building the observability layer for agent-generated code.

Wholeheartedly agree. We have been working hard at a solution towards this and welcome any feedback and skepticism: https://github.com/backbay-labs/clawdstrike

It’s good to know that a few decades later the same generic Dropbox-weekend take can be made.

Survivorship bias. How many failed and commenters were right?

I'm not disagreeing, just soliciting. Does anyone have examples of products that failed in the early stages because their implementation was too trivial?

Ignoring the VC economics and awful name, I won’t be as pessimistic as everyone. I see the vision. That said, nobody knows what the AI future looks like. Entire’s entire thesis is a solution for something we don’t even know we need. It’s a massive bet and uphill battle. Traditionally, dev tool success stories come from grassroots projects of developers solving their own problems and not massive VC funded efforts that…

I feel like it says a lot if this is the not pessimistic take.

My pessimism is mostly rooted in the VC economics of it all. The vision is great, but its a busy space and there's no actual product or business. They basically wrote the guy a check to build the spaceship in space.

I hacked together something similar to the concept they describe a few months ago ( https://github.com/btucker/agentgit ) and then ended up not actually finding it that useful and abandoning it.

I feel like the value would be in analyzing those rich traces with another agent to extract (failure) patterns and learnings, as part of a flywheel setup. As a human I would rarely if ever want to look at this -- I don't even have time to look at the final code itself!

I think we need an Agent EE Server Platform. :P

predicting that a startup will fail is.. well, you got a ton of probability on your side there. so it isn't a particularly impressive thing to be right about.

Unimpressive doesn't mean incorrect, sometimes it's good to take the side of the most probable. And yet at the same time I am reminded of this quote:

The moltbook-ification of every online forum seems inevitable this year. I wish we had a counter to this.
