Ask HN: Do you thank your agents when they did a good job? Sometimes I catch myself doing this and it feels pretty silly in retrospect Or sometimes they fix a bug and I instinctively go back to tell them the fix worked even though I could just close the session at that point. |

Codex: Understood.

Best regards
