I think this is a really fun project, but even more importantly, I believe it’s a portent of things to come.
I really leaned into coding with agents last year, and after some time, it became evident to me that the vision now being pushed -- the "software factory" -- is where things will eventually end up. Building off that understanding, I began thinking about what interfaces would be necessary and useful for managing code and technology at that scale.
I keep coming back to the idea of a video game-like interface for managing all these agents and fleets of agents. Many of the information affordances in video games are reusable in other scenarios. So even though on the surface this project is 'just' a silly and fun enhancement, I think it’s actually a pretty serious contribution as well.
This. Huge opportunity space for very creative UX moving forward.
