I long for the day when they will supervise CI/CD systems.

Trying to fix syntax errors in strong interpolation on a 5-minute-delay loop is hell.

Just create a skill for it -> I call mine `babysit`. It spins up a subagent that polls it every x minutes and auto-fixes it until it's green. I already continue with the next task while it does that in the background

I do this with our AI PR review checks. We have AI review every PR and commits to PRs... which can cause long running loops of commit<>fix.

So my agent just listens for green checks and no PR comments and loops until those conditions are met.

It is possible. I tell to use cli app, and for the agent to ad timer and check the status once in a while. Especially if there is something with a long wait. Also if it can run some validators/ same tools locally, would be much faster.

Might tend to deviate and waste time, needs guiding once in a while, and to check what is it spewing out, point it in the correct direction.

I treat the low level tasks as building blocks. You need a grasp and understanding of what is possible with them, but you do not need to remember the exact byte order and syntax. I think the idea is you should structure your workflow in a deterministic way, and just use Claude/ LLM as the interface. It is much easier and enjoyable to use high level language, where you give pointers to building blocks/ directions/ say hard no when you understand things deviate.

If I had to output the code myself, would take around 8 hours of constant writing to get around 1k LoC of code. For FUSE level tricky stuff, I might need to spend 3 weeks for 10 LoC. Very easy to burnout and build pain.
