The terminal really is sort of the perfect interface for an LLM; I wonder whether this approach will become favored over the custom IDE integrations.

Exactly. It has access to literally everything including any MCP server. It's so awesome having claude code check my database using a read-only user, or have it open a puppeteer browser and check whether its CSS changes look weird or not. It's the perfect interface and anthropic nailed it. It can even debug my k8s cluster using kubectl commands and check prometheus over the API, how awesome is this?

It's got 7 fingers? Looks fine to me! - AI

I’m biased [0], but I think we should be scripting around LLM-agnostic open source agents. This technology is changing software development at its foundations—-we need to ensure we continue to control how we work. [0] https://github.com/all-hands-ai/openhands

This looks like a good resource. There are some pretty powerful models that will run on a Nvidia 4090 w/ 24gb of RAM. Devstral and Queen 3. Ollama makes it simple to run them on your own hardware, but the cost of the GPU is a significant investment. But if you are paying $250 a month for a proprietary tool it would pay for itself pretty quickly.

What??? It’s literally the worst interface Do you not want to edit your code after it’s generated?

...if your IDE doesn't have a terminal then it isn't an IDE.

I have a whole other screen for my terminal(s). The IDE already has enough going on in it.

Not trying to be rude here, but that `last_week.md` is horrible to me. I can't imagine having to read that let alone listen to the computer say it to me. It's so much blah blah and fluff that reads like a bad PR piece. I'd much rather scan through commits of the last week. I've found this generally with AI summaries...usually their writing style is terrible, and I feel like I cannot really trust them to get the facts…

Yeah I was done at "What happened here was more than just code..." -_-

You can specify desired style in the prompt. The author seems to like PR sounding fluff while making morning coffee.

Aider's supported /voice for a while now.

voice is probably the worst human -> compute interface we have.

Human speech evolved with biological constraints and through neurological adaptions to emit and understand the nonlinear output that has lexically fuzzy areas to the untrained ear. So I think it's a rather "lossy" analog to digital conversion because the computer is simulating understanding of a form of information transfer that it itself is not constrained by (digital systems don't have vocal cords and could transmit anything).

One thing that I am not liking about the LLM world is that it seems to be tilting several things back in favor of BigCorps. The open source world is one where antirez, working on his own off in Sicily, could create a project like Redis and then watch it snowball as people all over got involved. Needing a subscription to something only a large company can provide makes me unhappy. We'll see if "can be run locally" mod…

This is some nightmare fuel vendor lock-in where the codebase isn't understood by anyone and companies have to fork over more and more otherwise their business couldn't grow, adapt, etc

Yikes, you've just perfectly articulated a trajectory that I've been using subconsciously as one of the primary reasons why I want to keep my coding craft sharp.

Then you are not impeded from editing your code because it was written through a terminal process, which seems to be OP's contention.
