The problem I have with this kind of approach is 1) it emphasizes scaling up a much as possible, which I don't believe is necessarily the most valuable thing, and 2) I really don't want my job to be band aiding agent problems, because it's like herding cats and there will never be an end to it. I'd rather just...get hands on and be involved in the code I am working to create.

Kinda fascinating watching a fairly reasonable response get downvoted. The AI psychosis really is catching...

Incidentally I also don't understand the drive to scale up. Show me a successful tech company and I'll show you a company that won, not by delivering code the fastest, but by delivering the right product with the right features at the right time.

Hell, Anthropic itself is the perfect example: they're doing well because unlike their competitors they realized the real revenues come from enterprise not consumer. They're winning by identifying the right market and giving them the right product.

Thanks mate, I think you hit it on the head: the hardest problems in tech were never really tech problems. They're often people and market problems, and throwing more agents at the wall isn't going to magically solve them.
