WaitSpin Puts Opt-in Ads in Your Coding Agent's Loading Spinner
HaktanSuren · x · 2026-09-08
A joke product idea called WaitSpin shows opt-in ads to developers while their coding agent is thinking — because you spend so much time watching the spinner anyway.
The punchline: "The loading spinner has a sales team now." A funny, counterintuitive AI-culture gag riffing on agent latency and the limits of ad monetization.
