I was pretty critical of Agent 3 on here last week, but it always came from a place of wanting the best for Amjad and the team. I really want to see them succeed.
I actually had to step away from Agent 3 for a bit because of the cost and the chaos it was causing in my workflow. But after the recent update, I came back to it, and the past few days have been incredible.
My app is huge, already 4GB with lots of custom, complex functionality and today I’m absolutely flying again thanks to the updates to Agent 3.
Huge thanks to the team for the improvements. I really appreciate all the work you’re putting in.
I’ve still got a few months of development ahead before I finish this app, but I’m excited to share what I’ve built once it’s finished.
People [myself included] were pretty brutal to the Replit team on here last week.
I think it’s only fair that when they do amazing, we’re just as vocal.
So comeon guys, if you’re enjoying using Replit again this week, lets flood the Forum with positive vibes!
I agree, I’ve been making progress a lot faster than on Agent 2 recently. It’s been running exceptionally well for me and although it’s been coming with a heftier price tag, overall I’m happy with the results as time = money.
The release of Agent 3 was brutal though. If I were in production and doing a few $M in ARR, I’d find the lack of communication, a week of downtime, and the lack of test/control prior and into the release completely unacceptable. I’m still a little turned off by the only communication we received was “We had some feedback Agent 3 is too good at converting technical debt, so we’ll have the solution in like a week” which is how I took the X post.
I understand that errors happen, and I’m not expecting a call when I’m not spending $100k+ a year or have enterprise support, but at least an email or post in here goes a long way to say “We hear you, here’s what we’re doing to remediate the issue (OR ROLLBACK UNTIL THERE IS A FIX), we’ll issue credits for the past 24-48 hours, and we expect X amount of downtime.”
I know this is outside of a lot of people’s control there, but those in charge of official statements and customer communication need to really step it up in the future. I hope when these events happen again, there’s a big learning lesson here.
