I'm really curious how folks feel about this. I regularly use subagents, but typically make my primary implementation agent use Carbon (or equivalent).

I set up my subagents with specific models based on how complex I believe the problem space is. I'm nervous to delegate that authority to a model (since models tend to be... optimistic about their capabilities.)

That said, not every coding task is a difficult coding task. Plenty are boilerplate, plumbing, or simple test authoring that could use a flash model, so maybe this would downgrade nicely.

On the other hand, it's trivial for me to set up some guidelines to create different subagents for different task domains, and just pin those models to those tasks -- implementor (hard) and implementor (easy) or whatever.

Nah, not a bot. I do delete my account here after a week or after I get a few hundred karma though. I hate this site, but I haven't found a spot better for the sorts of things that come through. So I abandon my account once I find myself checking karma, only to make a new one once I see insane shit being posted. In this case the insane shit was people white knighting a billionaire serial cheater who sold products illegally and ripped off consumers while simultaneously fucking a direct report.
Have you seen how women are treated when they are part of an affair? The mocking, excoriating, debilitating media coverage? Heck, in this forum of probably more decent than average people you have posters describing the women involved as "holes" and "sides".

Do you remember how Monica Lewinsky was treated? Decades of jokes at her expense, mockery of her and her features, jokes about dresses and semen and blowjobs. Can you imagine how hard it still must be to deal with all that shit day to day?

Bill Clinton still has enormous power. He's had to face nowhere near the burden she has, and yet he's the one who cheated and he's the one who did so with a report.

No? Having sex with a coworker is not rape, and no one said nor insinuated it was.

Go forth and consensually bang your coworkers. Knock yourselves out.

When you have the ability to fire or promote someone, however, you hold significant power over their life -- potentially impacting their ability to eat, house themselves, etc. In those cases, it's valid to ask, "Is there a possibility someone is being coerced into sex because they can't afford to say no?"

This is question of consent. It's not an allegation of rape. It's only a question and there are probably times the answer is no.

You don't have to knee jerk react to someone pointing out an obvious potential conflict of interest and go "so everything is rape now?"

Prudish about affairs with spies? Or about affairs with people who, if they break off the relationship could lose their jobs (or if they continue it they could get promoted)?

These aren't just affairs.

Also, fraud remains to be seen, and shopping chips to China sure seems like questionable judgement.

I think you are too narrowly focused.

99% is too low. He has an easier life than anyone. There's maybe tens of people who have an even easier life.

There's very little glee? There's lots of "no big deal, why is he fired" and lots of "these are firable offenses", but no glee.

It's not about the sex. It's about the judgement shown in cheating with a Chinese spy and a direct report, specifically. It's the lack of trustworthiness shown by someone who is willing to cheat in their marriage (presumably they are then fine lying to their company). And finally it's about exporting gpus to China illegally.

This isn't just a case of some extramarital sex.

Having sex with a report is a very serious no no. There are very valid questions of one's ability to consent when your boss is also your partner.
