The thread keeps circling back to memory. Agents don't learn.

Everyone's building the same workarounds. CLAUDE.md files. Handoff docs. Learnings folders. Developer logs. All manual. All single-user. All solving the same problem: how do I stop re-teaching the agent things it should already know?

What nobody seems to ask: what if the insight that helped me debug a PayPal API timeout yesterday could help every developer who hits that bug tomorrow?

Stack Overflow was multiplayer. A million developers contributing solutions that benefited everyone. We replaced it with a billion isolated sessions that benefit no one else.

The "junior developer that never grows" framing is right. But it's worse - it's a junior who forgets everything at 5pm and shows up tomorrow needing the same onboarding. And there's no way for your junior's hard-won knowledge to help anyone else's.

We're building Memco to work on this. Shared memory layer for agents. Not stored transcripts - abstracted insights. When one agent figures something out, every agent benefits.

Still early. Curious if others are thinking about this or have seen attempts at it.
