Responding to bentlegen's point that making actually good software requires using it a lot — yet many developers now spend more time inside their coding agents/factories than in the apps they're building.
ayushtweetshere distills the takeaway: the goal isn't to produce code, it's to build great products — and for that, you need to use more products. A timely reminder that as agents generate more code, first-hand use of the end product matters more, not less.
