The permissions this asks for feel kinda insane to me. Why does a kanban board need to see the code or my deploy keys among other things?

I would assume because it was vibe coded.

More generously I'd assume because

- It's an early prototype so they haven't dealt with fine grained permissions

- They really do want to do things like access private repos with it themselves

- They really do want the ability to do things like checkout code, create PRs, etc... and that involves a lot of permission.

That's an interesting idea and looks neat! I have my own developed agent running locally in containers, and currently use GitHub issues+pull requests for coordinating all the asynchronous work. Do you have any pointers on the approach I should take if I basically have something like a service already running for this, and I just want to hook up your UI to use it instead? Just some broad pointers on what would be required would be most helpful already!

Why do you need to "manage" your coding agents like they are people? How long does it take them to do a task once prompted, in the background? Don't you just prompt an immediately review the result?

Currently - claude code is pretty slow. I've definitely had it take >15 minutes on the (faster than opus!) sonnet model just thinking and writing code without feedback or running long lasting tools. I expect this to change given that companies like cerebras exist and seem to know how to generate tokens in much less time, but the current state of the art is what it is.

Always - if you're going to pipe the result of some slow process back to them (like building a giant C++ project that takes minutes/hours, or running a huge set of tests...)... it's going to be slow.

This is just what they wish to be true.

I definitely don't feel like the models are reliable enough that I'd be more productive running them in parallel like this yet, but I can see a future where I want this.

Their reliability probably varies a lot depending on what you are using them for - so maybe I'm just using them in more difficult (for claude) domains.

Do you think you will keep it free or can you see a business model developing around it? If so, what do you think it would be? / How would you split paid tiers vs free users? Not a big deal to me...!! But I'm curious how one might commercialise these types of free/open source projects

i feel so strongly that this will rapidly become true over the next 6 months. if you don't believe me check out Sean Grove's talk from mid June - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rABwKRsec4
