Tell HN: Stop building software for people, build it for agents instead
Yep, controversial title. Engagement farming, j/k. I'm serious. It's a real thing. Agents are a market. They're a customer. They have wants and needs. If you address those, and agents find it easy and efficient to use your tools, that's the new "grassroots developer adoption".
Jeopardy: what’s something that you truly believe that most people disagree with?
- theorchid 5mo agoI don't want to live in a world ruled by AI agents. I sincerely hope that superintelligence won't emerge while I'm still alive. I don't want to live in this dystopia.
- philipallstar 5mo agoThis is no different to "provide an API" being phrased as "build your software for curl".
- keepamovin 5mo agoSimilar, but agents aren't just static, so the needs are different. The "API shape" should be different, somewhat. Aesthetics.
- keepamovin 5mo agoI think it will be less "ruled by" agents, and more agents/robots doing all the plumbing that we don't want to do ourselves.
