Firebender created a web search tool for itself in one shot in one of the most disgusting codebases in existence 😅

have a feeling we're going to start seeing this on all our hackernews posts lmao

over a million lines of approved code, just in the last week. In a single day, the agent writes about 800 lines of accepted code per user. In the next 6 months, we will
