No it's not a new thing. Agents coding their own mcp servers I saw in the original demo of MCP when it was announced in 2024.

The other thing is part of the plan&act mode paradigm that plandex also started in 2024.

I'm not a cynic, I just follow the scene very closely.

This stuff might be new to you, but it's not new.

There's literally nothing that this thing is doing that I haven't been doing for a few years already

But the other authors didn't go on the Lex Friedman podcast hyping the shit out of their stuff... That's the difference here.

I can do this as well. "This is it! The singularity is here. Use this or get left behind! Everybody rush and use my thing!

So good I was afraid to put it out, scared of how awesome it is!"

I mean brother please...

But it's not new to me, I studied this shit. Maybe don't assume so much.

Clawdbot was the first where it worked as good as it did. Not BabyAGI or all the other stuff we had before. Similar in approach, but clawdbot just worked better. Might be a synthesis between models getting better, having skills and more MCP servers available and clawdbot having enough integrations to make it interesting, but it doesn't matter. The ipod wasn't the first anyway, but it was the one that made it stick. If you like it or not.

I think that's a you problem tbh. Just check it out yourself and don't buy in on the hype. Simple. Use whatever makes you happy.

You forget to mention the cult like audience of karpathy and pelican guy.

Whatever pelican guy says becomes the week Show HN theme.
