solid post, literally had a similar post. Interesting to see game industry dark psych applications!

I don't get the idea that using more compute or running a continuous agent is considered "power user". Consuming more =! power users lol

I dont know if running an agent 24/7 means you are "better" than casual coder. Code quality is still a thing, HITL i believe in still (not buying complete agent/mcp hype), I don't know if using more resources = extracting more value atm

Emphasis on “and”.

> it affects pretty much everyone who got some value out of the tool AND is not a casual coder.

I didn’t mean casual in the negative sense, so there is no “better”, there is only casual and not casual.

My theory is that 5% sounds like a small number until you realize that many people just tried it and and didn’t like it, forgot to cancel, have it paid by their employer wishing for 100x improvements, or most people have found AI useful only in certain scenarios that they face every once in a while etc.

I don't really get how those 24/7 agents should work. Claude code is the first tool that gives me really good LLM code, but it needs A LOT of guidance. I even interrupt it often, to stop it following through on bad ideas.

3 hours of Opus usage per work day will be exhausted fast.

Yes, yes let the normies who wait for their pizza to cook while running one prompt at a time "eat" so to speak mwuahahah #deathtopowerusers
