For mechanical work–things like bumping versions, fixing failing tests, checking documentation for inconsistencies–the clankers have proven their worth (even before LLMs, anybody remember dependabot?)!
The way to fix that, of course, is automated processes and mechanical guardrails. Automatic enforcement of style, automatic testing and linting and formatting–same as ever.
We can use the whale fall tokens to build that machinery.
This seems to be the main contention of the post, however it leaves me confused as to what the author specifically thinks should happen. “We should have the AIs generate more dependabots”?
