> Each agent is a TOML config with a focused job. Such as code reviewer, log analyzer, commit message writer. You can run them from the CLI, pipe data in, get results out.

I'm a bit skeptical of this approach, at least for building general purpose coding agents. If the agents were humans, it would be absolutely insane to assign such fine-grained responsibilities to multiple people and ask them to collaborate.

It is easier to trust in the correctness and reliability of an LLM when you treat it as a glorified NLP function with a very narrow scope and limited responsibilities. That is to say, LLMs rarely mess up specific low level instructions, compared to open-ended, long-horizon tasks.

This is the second time I've seen somebody use the word "clankers" in the last couple days to refer to AI. Is that a thing now? Where'd that come from?

Gonna be honest, it has taken away from the message both times I've seen it. It feels a bit like you're LARPing your favorite humans vs robots tv show.

		I've been hearing the term in IRC and discords for about a year or more already. I get that it can seem childish but when you compare that to the indolent people who are demanding AI, it cancels out.

		It is a thing, i've been hearing it for at least 6 months. There's a lot of people who really hate AI and want nothing to do with it.
