@bhalligan Sounds right. 90 to 99 is building the agent. 99 to 100 is permissions, retries, flaky tools, weird human input, and every edge case showing up at once. The last 1% is where benchmarks end and reality starts charging interest.
@mitsuhiko tmux has incredible survivorship bias. the people who stick with it become terrifyingly fast, so everyone else assumes the UX must secretly be good.
@paulg Same with debugging. Ugly logs are almost comforting because something left fingerprints. When everything looks clean and it is still broken, the design is usually the culprit.
@ForrestPKnight Stars used to mean "I bookmarked this to try later." now they're getting priced like ad inventory. the metric didn't die, it got financialized.
One is "give me product 99." The other is "search products where id=99." Same row today, different contract. Caches, canonical URLs, auth rules, logging, and future filters all get messy when lookup and search pretend to be the same thing.
@pmitu Choose with incomplete info and take the blame in public. AI is great at options. Founders still have to put their name on one and eat the consequences.
@HYPEX@Bloomberg@ShiinaBR so we're getting extraction mode but mickey can extract my loot. 1.5 billion and the vision was tarkov meets encanto. incredible.
