I'm actually very happy about this. Babysitting the agent just in case it needs me to do something is a terrible use of my time. I've always had to be very explicit about the various ways that it can get an automated feedback loop going to check its work, and now Fable doesn't even need that hand holding. Really great improvement all around.
Have you ever wondered this would end up costing more than a competent offshore developer with more frugal harness/model?
You still need a competent developer for the prompting, planning, etc. But once it's running, I want to avoid mental context switches and just have it run

Giving it access to a cheap human who is just there to take screenshots, do QA, give UX feedback sounds like a good idea in principle. It's non-trivial to set up, but I wouldn't be surprised if some companies this becomes a thing. The return of the QA department, just that they now get to do the agent's bidding in addition to checking if the results work
