- akersten 17d agoTheir sample prompt takes me back a year or two: > Find unused code in our web app. Exclude generated files and test fixtures, and check for indirect references before recommending a removal. If I "/goal remove unused code" in Claude today, I would not even think to specify "check for indirect references" and "don't consider generated code dead code," those sorts of intuitions have been "built in" to the frontier models for a while now. So I'm pretty confused by this, what does it do that I can't with an agent swarm?
- Sheeny96 17d ago> Improve SEO > Reduce maintenance overhead > Make your application compile faster > Find unused code in our web app. Exclude generated files and test fixtures, and check for indirect references before recommending a removal. If someone came to me with these requirements, I would laugh in their face. These reek of busy work with no actual business benefit. Have these people actually built real software before?
- mytydev 17d agoI would categorize these all as grunt work, but definitely not busywork or even a lack of business value. Improving SEO has direct business value. And the fact that it's unglamorous and laborious feels like a really good reason to have agents do it.
- ksjckejdkw 16d agoHave you actually built real software before? In what world does improving SEO, reducing maintenance overhead and faster compile times not provide any actual business benefit? > If someone came to me with these requirements, I would laugh in their face. My god the arrogance is almost tangible. Maybe tone down the greybeard act a bit, yeah? No one’s buying it.

- NBJack 16d agoYep, we've been doing this "agenticly" at my job for a while now. I can't say the results are often impressive, particularly if you underspecify what you actually want.
