Why HN links it
Lars de Ridder's blog, where one commenter links a write-up on prospective memory (remembering to do something in the future) as the answer to AI agents that schedule tasks with cron alone.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
I build products from concept to scale and help developers design what their AI knows through context engineering. Dream builder, crisis rescuer, and AI context architect.

What Hacker News says?
This is because for some reason all agentic systems think that slapping cron on it is enough, but that completely ignores decades of knowledge about prospective memory. Take a look at https://theredbeard.io/blog/the-missing-memory-type/ for a write-up on exactly that.
