Agent Case Study: 22-Day Autonomous Session on 1.8M Line Repo
nodo48 · reddit · 2026-08-21
The author details a 22-day continuous autonomous session by the AutoNodo agent on a real repository with 1.8 million lines of code. Execution was 100% autonomous with minimal human guidance. The agent goes beyond code generation to plan, execute, and verify progress, detecting churn, blocking contradictions, and refusing to certify completion without evidence. The author argues that true autonomy is not just an LLM with tools, but requires solving continuity, governance, and evidence layers during execution.
