Should AI Agents Be Classified As People?
New submitter sziring writes: Harvard Business Review’s IdeaCast podcast interviewed McKinsey CEO Bob Sternfels, where he classified AI agents as people. “I often get asked, ‘How big is McKinsey? How many people do you employ?’ I now update this almost every month, but my latest answer to you would be 60,000, but it’s 40,000 humans and 20,000 agents.”

I’m trying to implement configurable key bindings in tt. Boy, is parsing the key names into tcell.EventKeys a horrible thing. This type consists of three information:
- maybe a predefined compound key sequence, like Ctrl+A
- maybe some modifiers, such as Shift, Ctrl, etc.
- maybe a rune if neither modifiers are present nor a predefined compound key exists
It’s hardcoded usage results in code like this:
func (t *TreeView[T]) InputHandler() func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)) {
return t.WrapInputHandler(func(event *tcell.EventKey, setFocus func(p tview.Primitive)) {
switch event.Key() {
case tcell.KeyUp:
t.moveUp()
case tcell.KeyDown:
t.moveDown()
case tcell.KeyHome:
t.moveTop()
case tcell.KeyEnd:
t.moveBottom()
case tcell.KeyCtrlE:
t.moveScrollOffsetDown()
case tcell.KeyCtrlY:
t.moveScrollOffsetUp()
case tcell.KeyTab, tcell.KeyBacktab:
if t.finished != nil {
t.finished(event.Key())
}
case tcell.KeyRune:
if event.Modifiers() == tcell.ModNone {
switch event.Rune() {
case 'k':
t.moveUp()
case 'j':
t.moveDown()
case 'g':
t.moveTop()
case 'G':
t.moveBottom()
}
}
}
})
}
This data structure is just awful to handle and especially initialize in my opinion. Some compound tcell.Keys are mapped to human-readable names in tcell.KeyNames. However, these names always use - to join modifiers, e.g. resulting in Ctrl-A, whereas tcell.EventKey.Name() produces +-delimited strings, e.g. Ctrl+A. Gnaarf, why this asymmetry!? O_o
I just checked k9s and they’re extending tcell.KeyNames with their own tcell.Key definitions like crazy: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/master/internal/ui/key.go Then, they convert an original tcell.EventKey to tcell.Key: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/b53f3091ca2d9ab963913b0d5e59376aea3f3e51/internal/ui/app.go#L287 This must be used when actually handling keyboard input: https://github.com/derailed/k9s/blob/e55083ba271eed6fc4014674890f70c5ed6c70e0/internal/ui/tree.go#L101
This seems to be much nicer to use. However, I fear this will break eventually. And it’s more fragile in general, because it’s rather easy to forget the conversion or one can get confused whether a certain key at hand is now an original tcell.Key coming from the library or an “extended” one.
I will see if I can find some other programs that provide configurable tcell key bindings.
