I don't understand how random thoughts on X are front-page news on Hacker News. If some tech CEO makes a major announcement on X, it's newsworthy and belongs here. Anything else that's actual news is also fair game ... but all other X posts do not belong here!

criteria for hitting HN frontpage is generally whether it is interesting to people. That thought is likely the same thought a bunch of us are having at the moment.

I've been working on something along those lines (multi-agent orchestration IDE) for the last few months as a personal project.

There are also a lot of projects out there approaching this from many different angles.

Curious what features people would like to see in an Agentic IDE? Would you like to instruct multiple agents in real time (like vibe coding on steroids) or dispatch autonomous agents to solve a long-running task? Something else?

Karpathy is a notable researcher and broader AI leader. Among many, many other things, he invented the term "vibecoding". He also recently posted his autoresearcher project, which is using a swarm of agents to optimize the LLM training and recently produced a training process that is the fastest to achieve GPT-2-level performance using a very small model.

To me this reads like trying to fit a solution we know to a problem we haven't yet defined.

The problem is more around ops / visibility / delegation / orchestration of agents, but the solution is being misslabelled as "IDE" which I feel like is the wrong analogy although the right "in-between" step towards what the next thing will be.

Yeah I vibe coded a simple app that takes an org-mode file, renders it as a kanban board, and lets me spin up agents for each task with the prompt in the body in a named tmux session. The frontend gets updated via Claude code hooks when an agent is idle.

I think the key is to combine human and agent task tracking in one pane of glass.
