DHH: To enjoy building with agents, you have to actually care about the software
csuwildcat · x · 2026-10-06
Microsoft engineer csuwildcat praises DHH's recent streak of takes. The quoted DHH tweet: he sympathizes with programmers who worked on systems they never cared about, for customers they didn't connect with, and drew all their joy from mechanically turning tickets into code—and argues "you have to care about the software to be excited about making it with agents." A pointed take on an overlooked prerequisite for the AI coding-agent era: ownership and genuine investment in the product.
