Most companies don't care about developers of their level, rather they offshore to the lowest bid.

Except that AI agents are the new offshoring. The new hotshot developer will be someone who understands what clients want deeply, knows the domain, has sufficient engineering skill to understand the system that needs to be built and is able to guide swarms of coding agents efficiently. Having all this in one person is super valuable because you lose a lot of speed and fidelity in information exchange between brains.…

I know how it feels, because I have been in enough projects driving offshoring teams.

Here is an unwanted advice, it is not going to be the new hotshot developer, rather hotshot technical and solution architects.

The dream of CASE tools is finally here, pump the requirements into the software factory (aks instruction files), and the replicator handles the rest.

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…

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.

So far, automation has only ever increased the need for software development. Jevons Paradox plus the recursive nature of software means that there's always more stuff to do.

The real threats to our profession are things like climate change, extreme wealth concentration, political instability, cultural regression and so on. It's the stuff that software stands on that one should worry about, not the stuff that it builds towards.

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.

I'm another millennial that doesn't like them. I type pretty fast, around 100 WPM, so outside environments where I can't type (e.g. while driving), I just never saw the appeal. Typing has a way of helping me shape my thoughts precisely that I couldn't replicate with first thinking about what I want to say, and then saying it precisely. But I can appreciate that sitting down in front of a keyboard and going at it with…

You guys all sound like you have more hands than I do. And nothing else in them.

My jaw hurts after an hour long meeting. I lose my voice after 2 hours. Can’t say I’ve ever noticed finger fatigue, even after 16 hours of typing and playing guitar. Yeah, I think I’d rather click and type than talk, all day.

Probably worth trying one of the many dictation apps out there based on whisper. They can get most coding terms(lib names, tech stack names) accurately and its one of those things you have to really try for a week before dismissing fully.

Remind me: 20 years Some of us who’ve been in this game for a while consider having healthy hands to be a nice break between episodes of RSI, PT, etc. YMMV of course but your muscle stamina won’t be the problem, it’s your tendons and eventually your joints.

Voice as an interface is a life changer if you've ever had any bit of RSI at any point.

Claude Code is my favorite way to use LLMs for coding. However I feel what we really need is to have an open source version of it where you can pass any model and also you can compare different models answers. (Aider and other alternatives really doesn't feel as good to use as Claude Code) I know this is not what anthropic would want to do as it removes their moat, but as a consumer I just want the best model and not…

Question: I agree, but doesn't that other model need to be trained so it knows how to work with MCP servers? Or that isn't an issue?

There is but needs to be enabled. Go to Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts and turn the feature on

English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian only

I'd wager that probably covers only ~30% of the world population, and considering that people who speak Mandarin for example use other apps, it probably covers an even larger slice of the Whatsapp userbase.

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.

You might be interested in the OpenCode project: https://github.com/opencode-ai/opencode

It's still under development but looks promising.
