Diary of an agent farmer – day 1

Gotta pack my stuff with lots of emotions going through my mind after we decided to sunset our main product. It's gonna feel nice to see my family in India after more than a year.

There is no time to idle, though. We need to get an ad campaign up and running for our new agent farm.

In the post-AI world, this is what updating a landing page looks like

Fuck it – let's start from Bing, I got some minutes to spare and life doesn't really make sense, anyway. Within 5 minutes I am mostly done, but I need to add tracking tags to our landing page. Ugh, I am on my phone, I don't wanna open up my IDE now.

My lazy Github issue with 'Add Microsoft tags in the title' as the title and the copy-pasted code snippet as description

I chose to be really lazy with it

I ask my agent to add the code I copy-pasted from the wizard (is that how they were called?) and continue packing. I get my toothbrush and put it next to my gf's – she put that there 24 hours ago.

I hacked our agent to iterate directly on the PR – not custom UI needed

When I unlock my phone again, the agent is done. Correct, correct, nice and... it forgot to add the tracking to both our CTAs. I add a comment to the PR, pack my laptop, and check again. Looks good, hit deploy, check Bing and cool – I am done.

Relationship are all that really matter, people

My head spins a bit less – the person I care about is here, and home awaits. What other tasks could I give my agents while I'm flying?
