On site, a job isn't done until someone's checked it. I run my AI coding agents the same way.

One agent can edit. The reviewers are read-only. A coordinator hands out one task at a time.

Building apps this way, mainly a roster tool for now, and posting what the checks catch.

@AveronGames Planetside 2 vibes, I like it

[Tom | Lyons Frontier @TomLyonsLF]

@carlomakes explain it imo. Nobody relates to a perfect week, and half the time someone in the replies has been stuck on the exact same thing

@isaac_dev0 tbh the moat might just be that nobody wants to rebuild the context management bit once they see how fiddly it is. Have you tried swapping models mid-project, and did it hold up?

My map builder, two days apart. Tuesday's trees were green clouds on sticks, and the cottage looked like it was melting off the hill. Now the trees have actual branches, the roof is proper thatch, and the path looks like somebody has actually walked on it. Building with Fable 5.2

Vibe coding is ADHD's cheat code. I can start 10 projects in a week, and they've still got a better chance of being finished than the 50 in my shed..

@Sarakhan49309 Vibe coding ten products is adopting ten puppies in one weekend. Very fun until about Tuesday.

@Bagdex an app store for nokia. would've saved a lot of people a lot of trouble

I saw a dev whose agent deleted node_modules twice while 'tidying up'. That's why my agents have job descriptions: one edits, reviewers are read-only, and a coordinator hands out one task at a time. Nothing's done until it's checked. What job would you never let your AI do alone?

@Galo2027 Open-world crime game in Unreal Engine 5. Claude's building it on a US$300 budget, $55 in and the car already does 0-100 km/h in 7.4 s. The buildings are still placeholder boxes, but the car's ready to get pulled over.

@noobiethe13 five apps in one repo is brave. one bad commit and it's a family argument

[Tom | Lyons Frontier @TomLyonsLF]

@weipanux Error state, every time. Agents build like nothing could ever go wrong, which is honestly the most confident thing about them.

@JefronPearce it moved it left in its heart. the css just hasn't been told yet

[Tom | Lyons Frontier @TomLyonsLF]

Started my open-world crime game in Godot, decided it looked too basic and moved the lot to Unreal Engine 5. Gave Claude a US$300 budget. Movement, swimming, ragdoll, camera and driving are done for about $55. The buildings are still placeholders, so don't get excited.

[Tom | Lyons Frontier @TomLyonsLF]

@DoctorYev lowest price it will ever be, on launch day. that's a pricing chart with one direction left

[Tom | Lyons Frontier @TomLyonsLF]

@oguzcoskundev deleted node_modules twice while tidying up. honestly that's the most human thing an agent's done all year

[Tom | Lyons Frontier @TomLyonsLF]

@AkanSmart at least someone used to sit through the powerpoint

@MladenMacanovic Every marketing company ends up with one client it can't fire. His is the app.

@JoshuaBMaddox Two professionals working on you at once, and only one of them asks before taking a bit off the top.

@agilelabspl Sorry 55 not 85! I’m certain you’ll make it mate, you’re got the right mindset!

So in code land a "session" isn't a jam with the band... it's a wristband for your browser? https://t.co/CWOUqGkXf3
