Pretty wild quote from early in the article:

> "Minions are Stripe’s homegrown coding agents. They’re fully unattended and built to one-shot tasks. Over a thousand pull requests merged each week at Stripe are completely minion-produced, and while they’re human-reviewed, they contain no human-written code."

Fully unattended while writing code but with human-reviewed code makes sense, but also seems potentially soulless. I suppose it depends on what they're one-shotting - if it's bug fixes, great. But if it's more creative coding, that might be a bit of a downer for humans who are relegated to reviewing. Curious what others think.
