People love to work hard on goals they're excited about, when the work feels meaningful, when they know how to clearly make progress on the task, when there's a shape to the work and a clear criteria for completion, when some combination of the financial and psychological rewards of the work are better than they'd get doing something else in the same time.

People hate work that feels undervalued, that's not clearly defined, that feels like an endless churn with no end in sight, when harder work does not turn into better results for them.

AI it feels like is making the latter far more common than the former.

Ha! Like trying to get Claude to make an interactive Marimo notebook.

You have good timing. Earlier today we announced an agent skill that drops Claude into a running marimo notebook session, allowing it to run code in the marimo kernel (read variables, test logic, get feedback when errors like multiple definitions are hit, add and remove cells, manipulate UI elements ...):

I definitely was channeling my feelings when yelling at Cursor/Claude for the umpteenth time to do what I asked it to do or so help me...
