Instead of asking how can we ship more code or how can we ship better code, why not "how can AI give me a better life"? Machines are supposed to make our lives easier. If I can output the same quality at a faster rate of speed, wh

Agents are the orchestration layer, i.e. a perfect fit for Go (or Erlang, or Node). You don't need a "mountain of AI-related libraries" for them, particularly given the fact that what we call an agent now has only existed for

Tools are the only thing that matters, and are what you should focus on, not "agents" as a separate concept. Locking yourself into any particular agent framework is silly; they are nothing but LLM calling while-loops connected to
