This is fantastic. As the little joke I hope it is. Everyone gets their own small disfunctional group, and gets to figure out the challenges of management. You, the manager, are Michael. You know you have to produce something, and you do, but you have no real idea of how. Your diligent agents are Dwight. Overly literal sycophants that are ready to leap to action at your slightest command without any question. I do th…

Insightful. I think I’d do better at this orchestration at this particular stage of technology development if I named all my agents Dwight, maybe with an occasional Creed.

Hey guys, thanks for putting it here, I am Chaitanya I built Munder Difflin, I am here to answer all your questions(except nylonstrung). For people who haven't tried it: Munder Difflin is a local multi-agent harness that wraps around your existing claude code and codex subscriptions(we literally support almost all harnesses/coding agents). Simulations are deterministic, they do not consume tokens, infact most of the…

don't let the crankles get you down. this thing is delightful.

I don’t think GP is being unreasonable. Half of this webpage kinda sounds like parody and the other half serious. It’s valid feedback.

did i say he was being unreasonable? i asked him why he's pigeon-holing it. and you, too? don't hackers enjoy a little bit of playful ambiguity in their lives? must it be all serious all the time? sheesh.

Sir, this is the Internet in 2026. We don't allow playful anything unless the intent is clearly labeled and approved by your local decency csar. Please continue to refrain from double entendre, sarcasm, irony, or any other form of misunderstandable communication. Every thought must be of clear intent to the community so we may apply the correct direction of moderation to facilitate the amplification or suppression of thoughts in line with the already accepted and centrally approved community morality. Thank you for your cooperation.

It's interesting but It was hard to tell from a quick read if this was a fun game with LLMs or a productivity tool. You could stand to make that more clear.

...I agree but I also kind of like it? More software should aim to be both useful and fun.

Not feeling this. Is it necessary to call "agents" by human names? Wouldn't objectives be a safer easier to remember approach to naming? Like, say 'Clips' and 'Seeks'.

Safer? From a mental health perspective? Tbh I like human names

Is it just me or do AI made websites tend to be too verbose?
