I really wonder, and if somebody can enlighten me please do, most of the code is the harness right? What part of that is something that they race to contain, isn't this our classic 'well it's out there, good luck!' scenario?
tbh when I first heard of the 'Looksmaxxing' term I was kind of mildly shocked? first it was: "looksmaxxing is that people who?..." and then I saw people doing that stuff and I was like: aah, yup, it's exactly that.
Talked to a guy at a bar yesterday (Well he talked TO me, couldn't really get into a conversation) and he went: "Now I create WordPress plugins in 10 seconds, like for real! I have the most expensive Github Plan, all the agents and I just tell them what I want, I get it and publish it!".
Mind you, my projects are also build with Claude Code / Coding Agents but I spec, I refactor, I research, etc. It was at that point I realised that there could be millions of people like him now. He unironically said: "When people ask me what I do, I tell them I'm a promp engineer".
This right here! I commented about that in that thread, it's like: This 5G calls drops, LinkedIN uses GB's of memory, my fridge needs an update to get the light on but Voyager 1 is out there on 69kb.
I know it makes no sense about what I'm going to say but: whenever I lose a 'simple 5G phone call' connection I remind myself that the Voyager 1 runs on 69kb of memory and there's a robot on Mars.
this feels like such a weird oversight in such a controlled environment: "oh my bad it was the gloves!"
I wonder in how many other studies this happened?
