- Congratulations, you’ve built the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi story, “Don’t Build The Torment Nexus”.
- What is the point of an AI agents having a standup?
You don't need the self-policing enforcement of micromanagement that humans use standups for, after all.
I mean, why not just write the harness so that a management agent constantly reads those sub-agent's files and course-correct the subs?
by lelanthran - For a long time I've avoided anthropomorphizing agents like this, but it really is hard to ignore the effectiveness of using them with human processes and systems. Are the processes (standup, sprint, etc.) effective because they are using our languages? Or are the processes just universally good?by cyberrock
- Would love for my agent to chime in 'nothing new on my end'
on a serious note, the classic enterprise stack of Gemini and Jira really has put me in a position of questioning the standup. Kept mostly for vibes and routines I would say.
by Oscalemor - This is what my life's work is replaced by. I'm way over the initial shock and honestly these little guys are cute.by holdupagain

Maybe if you hadn't outsourced your job to Claude, you wouldn't be bored. And if you're forced to do so by manglement, why would you also outsource this toy project?
by Kwpolska - Take a stepback and understand why standup was invented in the first place. The reason was: information flow bottleneck - with agents information flow should not be a bottleneck because at any given time the agent can grab as much context as they need, including talking to other agents (althought that nit necessary imo since agents should work visibly through issues and PRs)by piterrro
