Dev wires image generation into coding harness so the agent tells little stories while working
MikkoH · x · 2026-11-11
Developer MikkoH shared a charming hack: he integrated image generation into his coding harness so the agent can create little illustrated "stories" as it works. On Remembrance Day, the agent spontaneously noticed the occasion and generated a cartoon of a character pausing by a small-town war memorial, shown side-by-side with the terminal running PR review tasks.
His takeaway: workdays blur together, and small unexpected moments like this make one feel distinct enough to remember. It's a neat example of designing agents for ambient delight, not just productivity.
