@bbatsov the hype died but I think it just kinda got incorporated as a layer in the system. There aren't really any alternatives for giving an agent a packaged up external tool. Even SKILLS wrap mcp stuff to do actual execution, esp with an authed service.
My non dev colleagues are using claude code to mash asana, granola transcripts, misc notes, a dash of figma, and then build out organized notion docs.
I use playwright mostly.
Found in an old "song ideas" text file:
Binary Tree Walk
To the tune of Jail House Rock
Step to the left,
Step to the right,
If both are null,
You're a leaf alright
Well let's walk
C'mon let's walk
Depth first is a lock,
Doing the binary tree walk
@elight Akin to finding the book in the Library of Babel instead of writing it, ala Borges, https://sites.evergreen.edu/politicalshakespeares/wp-content/uploads/sites/226/2015/12/Borges-The-Library-of-Babel.pdf
But by shift I mean one more of perspective than of minute action.
@elight I'm thinking much more along the lines of genetic programming, where we have some objective, generate a bunch of programs against it, keep/mutate the good ones. That technique DEFINITELY came up with some creative approaches; LLM world makes the generate/mutate even more interesting. It is trivial to have SOME algorithmic creativity, generating a D&D character with dice demonstrates that.
What I'm getting at is we are creating new tools to explore the space of all possible programs.
