Is this a me thing, or a millenial thing? I hate using voice for anything. I hate getting voice messages, I hate creating them. I get cold sweats just thinking about having to direct 10 AI Agents via voice. Just give me a keyboard and a bunch of screens, thanks.

Voicemail universally sucks. However, when you're having a synchronous conversation with actual people, do you prefer to do everything via IM, or would you prefer a phone call?

IM, 100%. Otherwise only the loud people ever speak, whether or not they have anything useful to say.

Email. Async comms make sense 99% of the time at my job. Unless there's deep work to be done, or pie-in-the-sky idea fabricating. Or rubber-ducky sessions. But I won't do those with AI.

The way Claude Code is going is exactly what I want out of a agentic coding tool with this "unix toolish" philosophy. I've been using Claude code since the initial public preview release, and have seen the direction over time. The "golden" end state of coding agents is that you give it a Feature Request (EG Jira ticket), and it gives you a PR to review and give feedback on. Cursor, windsurf, etc, are dead ends in tha…

Can't you have that already?

Put the Aider CLI into a GitHub action that's triggered by an issue creation and you're good to go.

This is what happens when you let lawyers say what they want.

Not sure about that golden end state. Mine would be being in a room surround by screens with AI agents coding, designing, testing, etc. I would be there in the center giving guidance, direction, applying taste, etc… All conversational, wouldn’t need to touch the keyboard 99% of the time. That's what I want and look forward one day

If that’s the future, that means a massive reduction in software engineers no? What you are describing would require one technical product manager, not a team of software engineers.

Yes.

That's exactly what everyone is hoping for. Well, everyone except software engineers, of course

Aider has had support for Python and shell scripting [0] for a long time. I made a screencast [1] recently that included ad-hoc bash scripting aider as part of the effort to add support for 130 new programming languages. It may give a flavor for how powerful this approach can be. [0] https://aider.chat/docs/scripting.html [1] https://aider.chat/docs/recordings/tree-sitter-language-pack...

Aider could really profit from a polished GitHub Actions workflow.

Add a file to your repo and you can talk to any model via issues.

The vision of submitting a feature request and receiving a ready-to-review PR is equally compelling and horrifying from the standpoint of strategy management.

Like Anthropic and most big tech companies, they don't want to show off the best until they need to. They used to stockpile some cool features, and they have time to think about their strategy. But now I feel like they are in a rush to show off everything and I'm worried whether the management has time to think about the big picture.

Or a massive increase in the amount of software that gets written.

If the cost of writing software goes down, demand for it will presumably go up...

The valuable skills will be creativity, taste, curation, prioritisation etc.

All those skills can be applied to engineering as well. What makes Fabrice Bellard great? Its not just technical skill I think.

I think some of the most successful people will be a subset of engineers but also Steve Jobs types and artists
