alt Hacker NewsBy no means are better background agents "mythical" as you claim. I didn't bother to mention them as it is easy enough to search for asynchronous/background agents yourself.
Devin is perhaps the one that is most fully featured and I believe has been around the longest. Other examples that seem to be getting some attention recently are Warp, Cursor's own background agent implementation, Charlie Labs, Codegen, Tembo, and OpenAI's Codex.
I do not work for any of the aforementioned companies.

Ah yes. An unverifiable claim followed by "just google them yourself".

And it had been hilariously bad the longest. Is it better now? Maybe? I don't really know anyone even mentioning Devin anymore

So, "some attention", but you could "easily find them by searching".
> Charlie Labs, Codegen, Tembo
Never heard of them, but will take a look.
See how easy it was to mention them?
