I automated a lot of this with a tool I wrote - https://github.com/tim-projects/tasks-ai

It's not perfect by all means but it does the job and fast. My code quality and output increased from using it.


Anthropic should provide a specific service where they attack a businesses infrastructure using this frontier model and then issue a report of all vulnerabilities found. I could imagine it would be quite lucrative.

Much better than hiding it away where it can't help anyone.


Hypothetically... I'm joey joe bob who happens to be maintainer of a top 10 npm package. My wife got cancer so I need money FAST. Unrelated: can you mythos my lib?

1 month later: whoopsie my lib got hacked and the hackers stole a bunch of stuff. Sorry guys.

It just wouldn't be good PR. And this is the best case scenario.


Your scenario has little to do with what I said.

But you can do that already with bash pipes. Doing it through the GUI just adds mega complexity

You can. I can. But with ai writing the glue code from a visible editor everyone can.

AGENTS.md doesn't fall out of the context window so you just put whatever commands you use in there. Every time it gets too big you rewrite it.

Never had an issue doing this


How long have you had an agent performing the same task, or trying to improve performance towards the same outcome?

I’m not really talking about coding. I’m talking about autonomy.


All day every day is the answer.

Me too just use AGENTS.md and it seems to work. I don't understand what problem MCP is trying to solve and skills just sounds like something you can do in AGENTS.md

What am I missing out on?


Repeatability (see my response to op).

> This seems like the issue rather is is that wealth accumulation in sub-saharan africa is limited to a small subset of population

At one time I lived in a predominantly black community in mosside Manchester UK. I witnessed these kinship based rules often in daily life and even overheard conversations by and about those members of the community who succeeded, left and didn't 'pay back their obligations'.

This was deeply striking at the time and until I read this article I've never seen anyone highlight it. But it's something I think about often.

So I don't agree that this doesn't happen in the rest of the world. It's a cultural thing not a capitalism thing.


> In many cultures it used to be (or still is) quite common to treat brides as property.

Property is not the right word for this. Responsibility is the right word.

When a bride price is paid, you give money (or goods) to the family. In return the responsibility of the care of the woman is passed down.

This is not a traditional monetary style transaction in the way it appears.

In practice, a lot of families that accept a bride price end up returning the value in different ways. But the responsibility is passed down from parents to partner and that's why divorce is so frowned upon.


You can replace bride with dog and nothing changes.

We can sugarcoat it all the way we want, but in biblical times, when parents are under economic stress, female newborns are laid in the sun for post-natal abortion. Female offspring is a financial liability, they do not provide the same 'value' as males do. So when a father raises a women, the father gets compensated.


> You can replace bride with dog and nothing changes.

Your reductionist view of the world is both incorrect and insulting. I guess you like it that way


Property is the right word. If it was you taking on responsibility, they would be giving you salary.

Society needs to stop making blanket statements about psychological behaviours:

> I kept deleting and redownloading Instagram because I couldn't stop watching Reels but needed the app for DMs.

Using Instagram only for DMs just means you shouldn't be using it.


I don't make the choice of how individuals in my social circle uses to communicate. Giving up being in contact with some of my friends/acquaintances is too bad a trade-off.


Your friends don't have WhatsApp or Telegram?

Unfortunately not really an option in a lot of business. There's a ton of services where Instagram is both your portfolio and an important first point of contact.


I made a similar app, it’s called “Only DMs” free on the app store :)


I predict that almost no existing WordPress installs will be ported to this
