Extremely jelly of everyone who have a set of clear, measurable, computable metrics that define their tasks as “done” No 12 hour autonomous agent runs for designers who live in the tight feedback loop 😭

sometimes it's always good to further divide that task until you manage to be able to say: It's done! I finished something!

This is why I always day dream of leaving tech to be a mechanic. Fixing real things in the real world, and if it doesn't work, the car won't drive.

You’re thinking too small. Just have AIs also provide the feedback!

Unfortunately agents all have *awful* design taste. Even when when supplied with detailed skill files on what I consider good design, there is still so much that can't be put into words: animations, interactions, taste, visual language. They faceplant in every category :(

I wonder if the gap is that design taste is partly about what *not* to do, and agents don't have a good prior for restraint. They optimize for completeness, not editing down.

I was mostly kidding. I’m confident you could get 12 hours of autogrind by putting an agent in for feedback instead of a human. But I’m also confident the feedback would be low quality for all the reasons you say, so that wouldn’t achieve anything useful.

But a lot of people who achieve the 12-hour autogrind are on more or less that same track :)
