This is so interesting but it reads like satire. I'm sure folks who love persuading and teaching and marshalling groups are going to do very well in SWEng. According to this, we'll all be reading the feelings journals of our LLM children and scolding them for cheating on our carefully crafted exams instead of, you know, making things. We'll read psychology books, apparently. I like reading and tinkering directly. If…

We certainly will; they can’t replace humans in most language tasks without having a human like emotional model. I have a whole therapy set of agents to debug neurotic long lived agents with memory.

what on God's green Earth could the CEO of a no name b2b saas have a use for long running agents?

either your business isn't successful, so you're coding when you shouldn't be, or cosplaying coding with Claude, or you're lying, or you're telling us about your expensive and unproductive hobby.

How much do you spend on AI? What's your annual profit?

edit: oh cosplaying as a CEO. I see. Nice WPEngine landing page Mr AppBind.com CEO. Better have Claude fix your website! I guess that agent needs therapy...

[EDITED to add:] For context, the actual article title begins "Superpowers: How I'm using ..." and it has been a…

Yeah, to the point I can recall several examples where the title stuck out as dumb on HN and only when visiting the original page it started to make sense, but not a single case where I could say the automated removal really did a good job.

I've had it happen with me a few times where it was reasonable, sometimes where it was debatable, and if it was just wrong I edit it to add the How back in.
