I don’t want to know if Opus can use my app. I want to see Haiku’s best efforts.

Before you launch anything, have Opus 5.5 send 5 subagents in as your first users.

Paste this into Claude Code:

"Act as my launch QA lead. Spin up 5 subagents, each a different first-time user:
1. The impatient one: skims, clicks the first button, quits at the first error
2. The skeptic: reads pricing, terms and privacy before signing up
3. The mobile user: does everything on a 375px screen on slow 3G
4. The non-native English speaker: only follows what the UI literally says
5. The breaker: pastes junk into forms, hits back mid-flow, double-clicks everything
Each one opens the app in a real browser, goes from landing page to first success, and screenshots every moment they get confused, stuck or annoyed.
Merge everything into one list ranked by how many users hit it. Fix it all in one pass, then rerun the 5 users to prove it's fixed."

Your first 100 real users won't tell you why they left. these 5 will.

(Works best with a browser MCP connected, Playwright or Chrome DevTools)

This long form article is worth reading (or pretending to ready) for many thoughtful takes on the state of the industry, the trade-off of going faster and letting go of understanding and the claim that output quality is still impacted by the human steering the agent.

How to effectively debug with agents when you no longer read or understand the code

In this post, I propose a debugging framework for agents that doesn’t rely on human knowledge of code to get to the right “root cause”

The TL;DR are the screenshots.
