A self-post describing the author's use of AI to augment enterprise software (specifically Jira) through browser extensions, improving worker efficiency and dignity. The post advocates for worker autonomy to improve working conditions and questions why this practical approach is not more widespread. The content engages primarily with labor rights (Article 23), demonstrating a positive lean toward enabling workers to realize their right to fair and dignified work.
It's definitely part of the SaaS-apocalypse story. LLMs shine at making little programs that integrate with an existing API to do some small task. Management has always overestimated the effort to develop that kind of thing and underestiamted the effort to develop applications with GUIs because... user interfaces are the Vietnam of computer science.
The greatest danger of the current time is that the likes of Salesforce and LinkedIn who have something interesting behind an API or web site try to lock down access so instead of using competitive high-quality AI agents we're stuck with the brain damaged AI agents they want to force on us.
Yeah, totally agree. But I don't think they can keep it locked down any more, with the rise of computer use agents, the boundary between interfaces designed for humans and those designed for computers is becoming increasingly blurred.
Neither. I asked claude through extension to modify the page directly
