Searching for the Agentic IDE

I really feel this. Every implementation so far hasn't felt like it reduced the contextual load involved for dealing with multiple agents. Tmux/Cmux is great, but whoever figures this out will probably make it big.

VSCode + any LLM plugin solves all the problems for me. Keep it simple.

That gives you a chatbox tacked onto an IDE, not exactly an agentic command center. Cursor gets close. But it’s hard to work on multiple things at once, or across multiple codebases.

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!

You can just downvote anything you don't like and move along.

It easily reaches the front-page for people with a following. I don't think many votes are necessary to get to the front page. And when there's some critical insight or leak.

Aside from that I've seen few posts on X that didn't follow the pattern, and were short lived at the top.
