The whole AGENTS vs CLAUDE md issue was bound to be resolved. If the models are getting smarter and harnesses getting better - how could you have a product so dumb that it ignores whatever skills, instructions, references, other things that are part of the folder context it is mounted in.
Having claude code ignore agents.md just made it seem dumb. At this point, you probably don't need either.

Forgive me for asking if I should know, but who is the author? Is he famous?

I think that was tongue in cheek. And by that I don't mean the author's tongue was actually in his cheek.
I also think it went over your head. And by that I don't mean I think it literally went over your head.
It's clearly a joke, but I can forgive some people for taking it literally, given the impact that certain well-known devs have on other companies' decision-making. It's a common enough line that it's plausible this could have been a VIP whose opinions swayed a company. Not him and not Anthropic, of course, but it does happen.

There's only so much stuff I have the patience to tell it in a session before I write it down somewhere.

I’m definitely not famous :^) thanks for reading!
'Tis a joke. His landing page says he's a dev at Salesforce, so I presume not famous.

I can't believe you didn't pick up on the sarcasm in the GP's comment...
