Am I the only person who hasn't found the time, money, permission from work, resources, etc to be able to produce software like this? I'm still at my corporate 9-5 where they're still making the decision on whether we're allowed to use copilot yet.

No, lots of people are in that situation. Either due to IP or cost concerns. $200/month/developer is a non-trivial expensive for most companies, given that they aren't easily able to monitor developer productivity, and as people keep observing it's not clear that the $200/month price point is sustainable given how easy it is to ramp up usage what would cost $2000/month on the API.

This article reads like an ad for the author’s product.

Good. Advertising is valuable and important. It's how people learn about new products and services. Articles like this are part of why I come to HN. And I wanted something like Terragon for ages. It's an obvious idea, clearly where the industry needs to go, and if it's well implemented then I'd be happy to use it. OpenAI has been trying the same thing with Codex.

Of course, the question is price. It's "free during beta".

Can someone explain to me like I'm from 2020 what these multiple agents are for? Is it something like starting five different Claude Code sessions in parallel to fix five different issues? Or are they collaborating in some capacity?

Whats the benefit of this over the Claude code github action? https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action It's already great at spinning up 5+ agents working on different PRs, triggered by just @mentioning claude on any github issue.

I guess this uses your subscription, when the GH action doesn't. That alone is a significant benefit, as I've turned the action off due to cost.

I think the GH action can also now use your subscription https://x.com/alexalbert__/status/1943332121814405412

I am using Claude Code full-time for about 6 weeks* with the $20/month subscription. I am trying out building different products from ideas I have already had. It frees me a lot of time to talk about my founder journey. I have not needed multiple agents or using CC over an SSH terminal to run overnight. The main reason is that LLMs are not correct many times. So I still need time to test. Like run the whole app, or c…

Looking at ChatInterface.tsx/handleSendMessage in https://github.com/pixlie/Pixlie/commit/3c0bd23ff16c0fcdac80..., I'd have rejected this if it came up in a PR and would not consider this production quality software.

Rewriting it to something sane would be harder and more time consuming than just writing a decent implementation upfront.

Aw man, they say it's available but then the instructions refer to "getting the API key from the console". I'll play around with the installation command again, thank you!

EDIT: The command does it now, thanks! I tried if a few weeks ago and it didn't, so this is great.

The local models I've tried can't write software of the kind and quality I require for work. When I'm programming recreationally I'm not really interested in automating it, since I do it for pleasure.

I have yet to meet someone in meatspace who is competent and isn't of the opinion that LLM SaaS are fine for querying out a bit of bash or Python here and there, but not much else. Sometimes people or corporations on the Internet are like 'wow, our entire repo is vibbed, so cool' and when I go look it's as if a bootcamped intern wrote it unsupervised but with a lot more Markdown I'm not going to look at, or a toy or a simple tool gluing some libraries.

Claude code is very good, no idea about the wrapper and don’t really care. The “hidden” adverts do get on my nerves though

I disagree. It's pricy and does crap code unless precisely instructed. Maybe because I was prompting in non-english langauge

Oh I wouldn’t try anything other than English with Claude. For the quality, it depends on many things, the context given, the quality of the code given as context, style, etc.

I easily double my output with very little effect on quality. It does require constant supervision though, I don’t see AI producing professional quality code by any other mean than human supervision, for a looooong time.

Don't do that. Quality of all models tanks in non-English unfortunately. It's fine for chat and translation tasks but their cognitive capacities does reduce a lot. One of the next features I'm expecting wrappers to add on top is auto-translation. In many work contexts it makes more sense to translate what the user said to English, process that and translate the answer back than ask the model to speak the language nat…

If I may, LLMs have no cognitive capacities. Their corpora in English are simply bigger.
