With products coming out like this, many claim to do basically the same thing.

How is this better than Claude Code's built in agent orchestrator? Do I need 100 agent types? How do I know the trained agents here are somehow better? Specialization doesn't equate to "better" in every case.

I want to see the light but at this point it feels like these kinds of projects need a better way to benchmark how they are improving on the available state of the art.

It feels like in 2018, a new browser state management tool emerging. Why does this exist?


Most of the things on the linked doc's list of things Claude Code can't do, it definitely can.


I'd call this optimistic overengineering. Throw every fad at a problem, rather solving a problem iteratively.


This is what Apple promised a long time ago, and just couldn't quite connect on delivery.


I'm considering starting Tirz, but really want to go to retatrutide. Curious if you have a recommendation.


This could be modeled with stdev


Aside from it being "instructions for agents", I'm not sure I understand how this isn't just a markdown file that more or less reads like a readme that targets more junior engineers.


No, you nailed it. The rest is theater.


I am curious about how this compares to dataview. As a dataview user, I'm not immediately seeing something bases does that dataview doesn't, but I am not a power user.


Dataview can be used for queries that output tables, but its strength is letting you write essentially custom imperative Javascript code that renders stuff in notes dynamically (dataviewjs mode). Whereas "queries to tables" is more or less what Bases does, the dataviewjs mode will probably always be unique.

I really like this idea, I think it represents an interesting intentional step to get out in front of what hiring managers might do anyway.

I am working on building profiles for people I work with, and really my goal is to end at something like this for them.


Sadly it will be praised as "tough" by many.


Look at the comments on FoxNews, it was America's finest hour.


I'll add to the conversation another interesting technique from Chris Voss, which is to use no-oriented questions.

People like to say no. (I'm not sure what this cognitive bias is, but anecdotally I agree.)

So, if you can frame your requests in a way that "no is permission", it will often get a red light a bit easier.

Example: replace "Is this a good idea?" with "is this a bad idea?"

Now, of course "not a bad idea" is not the same thing as "good idea", but it's a lot more likely. Even reading that, I imagine most people would respond more intuitively, because it helps us avoid a commitment we don't necessarily want to adopt.
