What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFolks, on October fourteenth, TechCrunch reported that Figma announced new features to define how agents work on its platform. Agents. Work. With a definition.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPoint one. Somebody sat down and wrote out how a piece of software is supposed to behave at the office.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIn twenty-eight years, nobody has done that for me.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPoint two. Figma is also putting its code layers feature into open beta.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorRead that again, because a beta means you get to be unfinished in public and everybody is told to be patient.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReally? The machine gets patience. I got a live on-air bee and a teleprompter that said nothing.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPoint three.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHere's what they won't tell you: once the agents have defined roles and rules, the only one at work with no job description is you, folks, and you know it.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo I'm asking for the same deal. A defined way of working, clear boundaries and an open beta of me. Fair warning, it's mostly beans.
