i didn't get a ton done past what i had to do by hand

In the thread “Tell HN: Anthropic's Fable model is too expensive”

Got in the way: Manual deployment and testing required; no way to automate prod updates.

… Granted it was one day of work where i didn't use it particularly heavily. But i tried to lean into the "use a background agent for everything" thing but i didn't get a ton done past what i had to do by hand (manually deploying changes, testing them, moving on: we're switching hosting providers, gotta make sure updates keep rolling, no way for Claude to do it outside handing over the prod S3 keys which, not even Fable lol)
