David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH), creator of Ruby on Rails, shared his profound experience using AI agents, noting that the age of agents brings "endless execution." He describes it as nirvana for those with endless ideas, turning every hunch and experiment into immediate reality.
He marvels at the technology, comparing it to having a genie in the machine. While acknowledging current caveats and potential dangers, DHH feels the daily impact is already approaching a practical definition of AGI, calling it the most fun he's ever had with a computer in over forty years.
