Actual failure isn't boring. But struggling through a generated software project that celebrates its own genius and doesn't have a single self-critical or genuinely reflective thing to say...at least watching paint dry I might get giddy off the fumes.
I'm not interested in critiquing the project itself, either, you'll just run that through a model, too.
I don't disagree with any of this. It is generated software, and it's not a novel idea. I didn't mean for it to come off like that. It's just solving an itch that I couldn't find a solution to and I'm getting a lot of personal utility out of it. I do have a lot of experience with agentic memory, multi-agent systems and harnesses and wasn't super impressed by the workflow of Fable calling opus subagents so I figured I'd apply best practices to what already exists to make it a teensy bit better and easier to use.

"this" being "plan with expensive model, implement with cheap model".
Anyone who follows HN would be hard-pressed to disagree; this architecture is re-invented twice monthly.
