#102I was interested. Clicked the try button and just another wait list. When will Google learn that the method that worked so well with Gmail doesn't work any more. There are so many shiny toys to play with now, I will have forgotten about this tomorrow.
Google will die by its waitlist and region restrictions.

#103The copy though: "Spend your time doing what you want to do!" followed by images of play video games (I presume), ride a bicycle, read a book, and play table tennis. I am cool with all of that but it feels like they're suggesting that coding is a chore to be avoided, rather than a creative and enjoyable activity.
So absurd. As if your boss is going to let you go play tennis during the day because Jules is doing your work. If all of these tools really do make people 20-100% more productive like they say (I doubt it) the value is going to accrue to ownership, not to labor.
Shhhh... don't tell the plebes what it really means to "2x their productivity".
Seriously though, this kind of tech-assisted work output improvement has happened many times in the past, and by now we should all have been working 4-hour weeks, but we all know how it has actually worked out.

#104So, you can assign github issues to this thing, and it can handle them, merge the results in, and mark the bug as fixed? I kind of wonder what would happen if you added a "lead dev" AI that wrote up bugs, assigned them out, and "reviewed" the work. Then you'd add a "boss" AI that made new feature demands of the lead dev AI. Maybe the boss AI could run the program and inspect the experience in some way so it could dem…
I believe I missed the memo that to-do apps[1] got replaced by note-taking apps.

seems like the 1 person unicorn will be a reality soon :-)
Similar to how some domain name sellers acquire desirable domains to resell at a higher price, agent providers might exploit your success by hijacking your project once it gains attraction.

I signed up on the waitlist when it was announced, got my invite today.

And if you don't sign up quickly after your turn in the queue comes up, you might miss the service altogether, because Google will have shut it down already.

My gut says it will go off the rails pretty quickly.
Re: Jules: An asynchronous coding agent
#109So many agent tools now. What is the special sauce of each?
The whole "industry" right now is hacked together crap shoved out the door with zero thinking involved.
Wait a year or two, evaluating this stuff at the peak of the hype cycle is pointless.
Re: Jules: An asynchronous coding agent
#110It’s really annoying to me (and sad for society) that everything everywhere only supports github for code hosting.
There are a million places to do dev that aren’t Microsoft, but you’d never know it from looking at app launches.
It’s almost like people who don’t use GitHub and Gmail and Instagram are becoming second class citizens on the web.
