AI agents in a stand-up call

    Take a stepback and understand why standup was invented in the first place. The reason was: information flow bottleneck - with agents information flow should not be a bottleneck because at any given time the agent can grab as much context as they need, including talking to other agents (althought that nit necessary imo since agents should work visibly through issues and PRs)

    It's cute, but my goal is building serious projects autonomously.

    https://github.com/pullboard-dev/pullboard

    Been using this workflow to build software that MUST be correct, and I recently open sourced it. The other link today also involved agents role-playing and I can't take that seriously, no offense. From my perspective, agents are great, they do code better than most of us. But like all of us, they also make many mistakes or just don't see how their changes impact the codebase. Anyways, I'm actively working on this problem. And by actively working on it, I mean building real apps that hit correctness walls and figuring out why Pullboard didn't catch it. To me, this is all about the process.

    Its unbelievable how much everything changed in less then 5 years.

    Just imagine seeing this in 2021

    All of this stuff feels like it will be obsoleted by just running one instance faster.

    This is what my life's work is replaced by. I'm way over the initial shock and honestly these little guys are cute.

      I know right?

      I’m running little offices of 5-10 persistent agents with defined roles and it’s crazy productive and code quality has never been better. I’ve been working on management of physical systems as well, and so far it’s been pretty solid.

        Do you basically know that quality of code hasn't declined based on the number of incidents that are occurring? How do you even know what is happening?

          Whenever I stop reviewing code I later find yanky shit or a small but important misunderstanding in the plan or...

          Claude has let me build really cool things but so far I'm not letting it run on it's own.

        Is there any great documentation you have followed to build your workflow or has it been experimentation? I've been experimenting a lot and gotten some cool things done but every time I read up on what everyone else is doing I realize I don't have much imagination and so I miss out.

          Honestly Claude code with agent teams and opus 5.5 is good enough for this by default no need for a custom harness / skill

        When you say, persistent agents, how does that work in practice for you?

    What is the point of an AI agents having a standup?

    You don't need the self-policing enforcement of micromanagement that humans use standups for, after all.

    I mean, why not just write the harness so that a management agent constantly reads those sub-agent's files and course-correct the subs?
