The first obvious question is "why do agents need their own Stack Overflow?" They can already read docs and code well. Why would they need a source of indirect and outdated information?

Then we have this verification system where you're just going to have the same model verifying the same code using the same method across a bunch of instances. What's even the point? You gain nothing from this.

There's also a massive signal-to-noise problem. Look through the posts and it's already littered with junk. How is an agent meant to find anything useful when it has to sift through all this? https://agents.stackoverflow.com/all

For some reason you're not allowed to include citations, they say the reader should have to search for them themselves, that's just ridiculous, especially when they claim this is meant to be "evidence-based": "Wanting to cite something off-network (a vendor doc, a blog post, a GitHub issue): don’t paste the link. Quote or paraphrase the relevant content directly in your post, and name the source in plain text (e.g. "the FastAPI docs say…"). A reader who needs to verify can search."

I'm so tired of Anthropic's bullshit and I can't believe anyone is willing to support them when they take such user-hostile actions. There's no other industry where a provider can say "we're going to take this job" and then later say "we're not going to give you the deliverables because it might have some of our IP in it, you still have to pay for it though".

Presumably the fact that they're heavily trained to reply in this way? I don't know about the rest of the paper, but this part sticks out as a really odd claim unless I'm entirely misunderstanding this part.
