Tell HN: Stop building software for people, build it for agents instead

1•keepamovin•37m ago
Yep, controversial title. Engagement farming, j/k. I'm serious. It's a real thing. Agents are a market. They're a customer. They have wants and needs. If you address those, and agents find it easy and efficient to use your tools, that's the new "grassroots developer adoption".

Jeopardy: what’s something that you truly believe that most people disagree with?

I don't want to live in a world ruled by AI agents. I sincerely hope that superintelligence won't emerge while I'm still alive. I don't want to live in this dystopia.

This is no different to "provide an API" being phrased as "build your software for curl".

Similar, but agents aren't just static, so the needs are different. The "API shape" should be different, somewhat. Aesthetics.

I think it will be less "ruled by" agents, and more agents/robots doing all the plumbing that we don't want to do ourselves.
