Cool I made this thing a while back but I really like your fork spawn parallelism

https://github.com/waynenilsen/crumbler

This uses recursive task decomposition but is single thread by design. Honestly fast enough for me and makes it easier to reason about

i believe agent native sites will stand up and the incumbents will be forced to adapt

such as agent native shopping platforms whereby a human will bring you something from walmart or what not could spring up and disrupt your instacart of the world

this of course is just one simple example, when it works better for the clawdbot or whatever comes next what are the users going to choose they'll say 'get me some apples from walmart using instacartforbots' because they know the agent success rate will be higher

ah yes thank you very much that did work

still not great in my opinion sadly i think this will likely get worse and perhaps never get better

commit messages as marketing materials and 'kpi's is an anti-pattern i would have preferred to avoid

forms, PRG, semantic HTML and no js needed

Frontend QA is the final frontier, good luck, you are over the target.

The amount of manual QA I am currently subjected to is simultaneously infuriating and hilarious. The foundation models are up to the task but we need new abstractions and layers to correctly fix it. This will all go the way of the dodo in 12 months but it'll be useful in the meantime.

agent-browser helped a lot over playwright but doesn't completely close the gap.

i think when someone makes the cli like this they're going to win

$ phone call bill

ok call_id=3f2a

$ phone status 3f2a

dialing

$ phone status 3f2a

answered

bill: hello

$ phone say 3f2a "hey, quick question"

ok

i see what you are saying now, i have actually started doing my own dockerfiles so everything is in one container it works reasonably well actually eg you install postgres redis x y and z on the same thing the agent is running on then you can start fresh anytime then all of your stuff is on localhost
