Ryan Peterman(@ryanlpeterman):The latest models (e.g. Opus 5.5, GPT 6) have made a ton of my glue work obsolete When I started my podcast, I used models to write GUIs for repetitive tasks like transcription, publishing, and basic video editing Lately I realized I was just a "meat proxy" The model could run the tools I had built by itself to carry out end-to-end workflows, so it didn't need me or any GUIs. So now I just build interfaces that let the model use the tools directly Things are changing so quickly. One day, my podcast backend will reduce to a well-structured repo of data and desired outcomes Outcomes documented in a mix of software and English
