flowersslop first complained that asking Claude 6.1 (sol) to build a character creator from scratch produced something that "still needs some polish." But the follow-up: just let it keep cooking — the agent kept improving on its own the longer it ran.

A funny, counterintuitive data point on long-running autonomous coding agents: bad early output doesn't mean failure; sometimes letting the agent continue is enough.
