Why It Matters
Concrete builder tool update showing how AI coding agents are evolving in reliability and “personality” (less clashing, better sustained work). Utility for builders making things; subtle future-shock on AI as daily collaborator changing creative/work identity. Ties to HN builder zeitgeist without pure benchmark sniping. Visual: interface demos, before/after coding sessions, cinematic “composer” metaphor.
