"Why would you use a new tool when other tools already exist?".

Agents are here. Maybe a fad, maybe a mainstay. Doesn't hurt to play around with them and understand where you can (and can't) use them

Play and production need to be separate domains. Otherwise, you don't have production, you only have play.

Nowhere did OP or any of the comments in the chain specify they were testing Claude in production.
