    I'd love to see what is being achieved by these massive parallel agent approaches. If it's so much more productive, where is all the great software that's being built with it? What is the OP building?

    Most of what I'm seeing is AI influencers promoting their shovels.

      I work for Snowflake and the code I'm building is internal. I'm exploring open sourcing my main project which I built with this system. I'd love to share it one day!

      People are building software for themselves.

        Correct. I've started recording what I've built (here https://jodavaho.io/posts/dev-what-have-i-wrought.html ), and it's 90% for myself.

        The long tail of deployable software always strikes at some point, and monetization is not the first thing I think of when I look at my personal backlog.

        I also am a tmux+claude enjoyer, highly recommended.

        I’ve known too many developers and seen their half-assed definition of Done-Done.

        I actually had a manager once who would say Done-Done-Done. He’s clearly seen some shit too.

      The influencers generate noise, but the progress is still there. The real productivity gains will start showing up at market scale eventually.

      There are dozens and dozens of these submitted to Show HN, though increasingly without the title prefix now. This one doesn't seem any more interesting than the others.

        I picked up a number things from others sharing their setup. While I agree some aspects of these are repetitive (like using md files for planning), I do find useful things here and there.

    I liked the way how you bootstrap the agent from a single markdown file.

      I built so much muscle memory from the original system, so it made sense to apply it to other projects. This was the simplest way to achieve that
