>> They haven’t even cracked 1 agent doing anything useful and now we’re onto multi

So coding agents are not useful? They seemingly are very useful to many, but when you know what you are doing.

But on the other-hand, I have seen a new wave of lazyiness on HN that has flooded this site and yes, skill atrophy is real and it shows.

There is somewhat of a motive from Anthropic to convince developers to trust them and waste even more tokens:

   1) Having the most expensive frontier models. (Then serving discounts like a casino)

   2) Claude Code (Harness) taking thousands of tokens at the system prompt level.

   3) Tokenmaxxing

   4) Anthropic's top Claude Code salesmen recommending: "auto mode" and "loops" for "better results"

   5) Anthropic switching to "auto mode" in Claude Code by default.

If HNers already don't know that posts from Anthropic like this are optimized to drain their budgets in exchange for their codebase, then maybe you do have a point, especially those still "Tokenmaxxing".
