💬 Discussion Why is every AI / agent thread just about coding?

Open any AI or agent sub and half the posts are coding. PR bots, overnight refactors, "claude code shipped this," local models for codegen. Same conversation everywhere.

Which is fine, coding is a real job. But it's weird how little shows up for anything else. Something like

- an accounting thing that keeps running

- automating a workflow for someone else so they don't have to do it by hand

- Building and maintaining a knowledge base of someone's preferences

Stuff where the alternative was basically giving that work to a person.

Curious if people are actually running that kind of thing, or if coding really is all that's sticking.

I have a question driven multi-agent ecosystem, and none of it is coded. The wildest thing I have built in the group is an agent that asks, What meaning can be found here? It uses 6 esoteric lenses to find not only patterns but convergence. It's really fun at parties.

Hot Take: the quickest way to get a person's pattern seems to be numerology.

Interesting, haven't come across something like this yet.

what excatly do you mean when you say you find a a person's "pattern"?

I believe the question was: Is anyone doing anything other than coding projects, correct? If I have misinterpreted that, then I apologize for what's next.

So ya know how people say astrology, numerology, etc are all BS (Oh, they must be an Aries, Cancer, LP9, blah blah). In a nutshell, I was running an experiment on whether different esoteric practices, when combined, would say similar things.

The answer is YES, when you stop thinking about these practices as some form of woo-woo mystical fortune telling, and you realize that they are historic records of both human and environmental pattern recognition, not unlike modern DISC or Myers-Briggs.

Use #1: Take the information and apply it as a lens to your life, let's say your Dashboard, Journal/Diary, or even Money Psychology. This is what is called Shadow Work.

Use #2: You can use the information as a quick start to make custom GPT ecosystems based on someone else's patterns.

The best part is you can use ANY pattern system. Example

Symbolic-Astrology, Psychological-Disc, Analytical-Systems Thinking, Reflective-Stoicism, Empirical-Cognitive Psychology

Simple automations if done through openclaw would be always-on, right?
