As CTO at Redo do you demand everything written in assembly? Does your entire company’s code run in one file or do you use abstraction to simplify? I’m not quite clear on how expressing a really complex and paradigm shifting approach of agents in a more concise way is a bad thing

Of course not. Nor did I think that "94 lines of Ruby" was assembly.

But "94 lines of Ruby" is actually "94 lines of Ruby plus 100x other lines of Ruby plus Anthropic."

The high level form is indeed 94 lines.

I think it could be 15 if you are going for concepts.
