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...

How close can you get Aider to Claude Code? Ie i liked the Claude Code UX, but i don't use it because i prefer Gemini 2.5 Pro.

I don't really want it committing and stuff, i mostly like the UX of Claude Code. Thoughts?

The way Claude Code is going is exactly what I want out of a agentic coding tool with this "unix toolish" philosophy.

The moment I am able to outsource work for Jira tickets to a level that AI actually delivers a reasonable pull request, many corporate managers will seriously wonder why keep the offshoring team around.

Claude has been left in the dust by Gemini with its million token session and ability to upload a zip file of my entire code base.

and then get the honor of copy and pasting all of the changes afterward?

Cursor with gemini-2.5 MAX and agentic mode.

I really like the idea of Claude Code but its rare that I fully spec out a feature on my first request and I can't see how it can be used for frontend features that require a lot of browser-centric iteration/debugging to get right.

Offshoring team?

No, any team.

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.

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

Most companies don't care about developers of their level, rather they offshore to the lowest bid.

> 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. I see your point but in the other hand how depressing to be left only with the most soul crushing part of software entering - the Jira ticket.

Say what you will, but this would have the wonderful side effect of forcing people who write JIRA tickets to actually think through and clearly express what it is they want built.

Anyone working on offshoring projects already knows how fun this happens to be.

Claude max plan has Claude code bundled into the price. $100/month isn't cheap, but the RoI is there for me personally.

Can you clarify what you mean here? Are you saying I can use Claude Code for a flat rate of $100/month? What are the limits? What if I use more than $100 worth of Code in a month? Their website doesn't seem to make it clear. Edit: Found the answer to my own questions > Send approximately 50-200 prompts with Claude Code every 5 hours[1] Damn. That's a really good deal [1] https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/1114…

Really tempted to go for this as well. Only wish I could access flat rate Claude through VS Code Cline (or an extension like it) as well - that would be the complete package. $100 / month + ~$$ / day in API credits is gonna get pricey.

Offshoring team? No, any team.

That will be the next step.

Including the management team?
