This desperately needs a demo video in the repo.
I've added this to the readme now, thanks
Hear your agent suffer through your code

Re: Hear your agent suffer through your code
#52From a quick look, this doesn't have the model evaluate code quality, but it runs a heuristic analysis script over the code to determine the groan signal. Did I miss something? Why not leave it to the model to decide the quality of the code?

#53Honestly, I don't care about Opus 4.7. This is the true evolution of agentic coding.
Thank you, I hope my investors feel the same.

#55Hi Hacker News, I'm Andrew, the CTO of Endless Toil. Endless Toil is building the emotional observability layer for AI-assisted software development. As engineering teams adopt coding agents, the next challenge is understanding not just what agents produce, but how the codebase feels to work inside. Endless Toil gives developers a real-time signal for complexity, maintainability, and architectural strain by translati…
This guy seems to be talking seriously.

#56I need a version of this which swears loudly when an assumption it made turns out to be wrong, with the volume/passion/verbosity correlated with how many tokens it's burned on the incorrect approach.
That or having it start shit posting about your crappy code base on https://moltshit.com

How so?
How so what? 6 years in, we're still looking for that flood of new innovative apps and one-man billion dollar startups. Instead we got a flood of sh*t content, embarassing outages and "AI workflows" - which no one can quite describe. Or did you have something else in mind?
You're being over-opinionated for something you don't understand.
You should really try these tools out with an open mind. I know you won't take that last bit of advice, so this makes you not worth my time. But I can tell you this - these tools make people productive in ways you aren't understanding.

This sounds a lot like the object of the seminal science fiction work "Don't Build The Torment Nexus".

i didnt realize i needed the volume scaling with tokens burned as much as i do now xD imagine the screaming when it confidently refactors something for 40k tokens and then finds out the thing it deleted was load bearing
Honestly think we probably underutilise sound sometimes. Even just having a hum while an agent is working could alert you when it get stuck. Or taking your idea further being able to listen to the rate of tokens, or code changes, or thinking. Sort of like hearing the machinery work, and hearing the differences in different parts of the code base. Does python sound different than rust or c++ or typescript. Or some kin…
A long, long time ago I wrote a tool to beep at various tones as lines were added to a log. It was a background noise I would not notice, except when it was changing because of some unusual activites.
It was very interesting to see the brain filering expected soinds and wake me up (or rather grab my attention) when unexpected ones appeared.
