<p>I feel like things have become so much more cynical in the last 5 years, in this regard.<p>I feel like part of it is the "over-systemization" of promos. I see the logic behind it to some extent - if there's a system, it's "fairer"/"more democratic". But, then we end up with ridiculous gamified promo systems.</p>

<p>> doing ALMOST what I asked it to do, but just not quite<p>This is my exact experience. LLMs get 95% of the way to my personal quality bar, and for simple tasks 100% of the way.<p>More complex things, no. This means that, in practice, I end up having to understand the code pretty much as much deeply as I would anyway, without agents.<p>So, essentially, my experience is that it's automated away the easy bits, but left the hard bits, so all of my time is spent doing the hard bits, which is mentally exhausting.<p>Maybe Fable would be good enough to get to 100% of my quality bar on more complex tasks, but I never got chance to try it.</p>

<p>There was once a time when I'd see a page like this and think "wow, must be a great project with such a polished website".<p>Now, it's just a neutral or perhaps even very slightly negative signal (especially the em-dash in the very first line of the page).<p>Anyone able to tell me if this is a project actually worth paying attention to, or just another raindrop in the current monsoon of slop?</p>
