This reminds of the open issue on the Claude MacOS app where the OS-wide voice dictation keyboard shortcut function doesn't work.

Somebody on Reddit figured out they just forgot to add a single line permission request into the app. It's been broken now for months.

I just find this wildly hilarious given the 'world ending all powerful AGI is here' rhetoric they're running with at the same time.

Maybe before worrying about permanent 15% GDP growth or human annihilation, what if we started by putting an agent on user issues and solving them pro-actively?

I know the kool aid is tasty, but we might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves here guys. You can fantasize about human annihilation after you figure out how to make a desktop app that doesn't have obvious bugs, I promise :)

Aren’t we supposed to be able to just point Claude at the bugs and rip through them?

Yeah it's legit weird for the whole narrative to see Claude Code/Codex repos with thousands of open issues. With certain issues full of +1 reactions and "still happening in 2.21.2" replies.

But instead of a Software Dev as a Service triaging/implementing/merging fixes 24/7 and clearing the backlog as they come in, they just sit there for days to weeks until a GitHub bot closes then as duplicates, generating more unhappy user replies and new issues to go unaddressed.
