Looks quite similar to my https://llm.datasette.io tool as well. Honestly though, CLI tools for accessing LLMs (including piping content in and out of them) is such a clearly good idea I'm glad to see more tools implementing the pattern.

It's very surprising that it has taken this long to see a first-party CLI like this.

OpenAI have had a bad one for a couple of years. It looks something like this:

  pip install openai
  export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
  openai api completions.create \
  --model gpt-4.1-mini \
  --prompt "tell a joke about a fish"

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.

It seems like the Holy Grail here has become: "A business is one person, the CEO, sitting at his desk doing deals and directing virtual and physical agents to do accounting, run factories, manage R&D, run marketing campaigns, everything." That's it. A single CEO, (maybe) a lawyer, and a big AI/robotics bill = every business. No pesky employees to pay. That's the ultimate end game here, that's what these guys want. Is…

> A single CEO, (maybe) a lawyer...

Of all the professions that are at the risk of being downsized, I think lawyers are up there. We used to consult our lawyers so frequently about things big and small. We have now completely removed the small stuff from that equation. And most of our stuff is small. There is very little of the big stuff and I think LLMs aren't too far from taking care of that as well.

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

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.

The only AI feature I want added to WhatsApp is transcribing voice messages!

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…

Anthropic also announced something along those lines today as well, in beta: https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/github-action...

How did you find this? It doesn't pop up on any news sections on their site. I want to be on top of these kinds of things too!

No. The "golden" end state of coding agents is free and open source coding agents running on my machine (or in whatever machine I want). Can you imagine paying for every command you run in your terminal? For every `ls`, `ps`, `kill`? No sense, right? Well, same for LLMs. I'm not saying "ban propietary LLMs", I'm saying: hackers (the ones that used to read sites like this) should have as their main tools free and open…

I agree with the sentiment, but isn’t Claude Code (the CLI) FOSS already? (Not sure it’s coupled to Claude the model API either, but if it is I imagine it’s not too hard to fix.)

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?

You can turn off auto commit

You can disable the automatic commits, but you cannot disable the automatic modification of files. One nice thing about Claude Code is that you can give it feedback on a patch before it is even applied.

That's the whole point of /architect mode, no? You refine the solution in the prompt before aider asks you if you want to apply the changes.

No, I just tried this on the latest version of Aider and it automatically made the change with architect mode enabled.

Surely at that point the CEO would be AI as well. The owner (human) would say "build a company, make me a billion dollars" and that would be the only valuable input needed from him/her. Everything else would be derived & executed by the AI swarm, while owner plays video games (or generally enjoy the product of other people's AI-labor) 100% of the time. I'd argue GPT4 (2022) was already AGI. It could output anything y…

When it can come up with something new, then I might be with you.

Setting aside predictions about the future and what is best for humanity and all that for a moment this is just such a bummer on a personal level. My whole job would become the worst parts of my job.
