I've been retired from emacs for several years now but I'm still looking for a magit replacement that is independent of my editor. Vscode's magit extension is really good but i split my time between IntelliJ and vscode. Anyone know of something like this?

It's not AI psychosis, you're interpreting what he said to the extreme. Anyone who has actual corporate team lead or management experience understand AI as effectively a junior dev who doesn't have great persistent memory. These devs using AI are reviewing, guiding, and validating the work given to them by AI just as they would from a junior dev. The inverse of your statement is more apt; it's distressing to see peop…
> There are going to be skilless vibecoders and then there are going to be experienced devs (like OP) who figured out their AI workflow to multiply their productivity 2-5x. Are you sure OP belongs in the second group? He explicitly said he doesn't read all the code generated by his AI: > I have not read most of the code, and instead focused on results, so you might say this was “vibe-coded.”
Also, I will not doubt OP's experience. He has published a good set of Emacs packages that are very capable for the niches they occupy. Certain packages are even foundational dependencies in the Emacs ecosystem.
If OP "vibecoded" a critical package, I'm sure he would take it upon himself to ensure it high quality.

Aren't they actually readline keystrokes, and emacs is "readline-aware"?
I'm pretty sure the navigation shortcuts date back to when Emacs was literally just a set of TECO macros, and GNU Readline adopted them

Can you describe your setup on how you use LLMs within Emacs?
Of course. I've tried different AI packages and currently gptel and ECA remain the main ingredients. This is a quickly changing landscape, and things may change, but for now it feels very good. I like gptel because it's enormously extendable and exploitable - it allows me to send LLM requests from just about anywhere - I could be typing a message (like this very one) and suddenly in need of ideas for how to phrase so…
Dude only made it 20 years with Emacs. Weak. I've been using it since 1994. Whoa, shit, I'm old.
Lugaru (??) emacs (epsilon) on CP/M in the early 1980’s

> I don’t see a particularly clear winner between them Because deep down they are incomparable categorically. Separate the tools from the foundational ideas and you see the very different value. Vim-model of text navigation is fantastic, practical, brilliant idea. Once you grok it - you can take it anywhere. You can use it in your editor, browser, terminal, WM. Emacs is rooted in another, even more brilliant idea of…
Why not both? Evil is a reimplementation of Vim in Emacs and it is great.
I used emacs full-time for many many years. Then I switched to Vim or other editors with Vim modes, also for many years. I have to be honest, I don’t see a particularly clear winner between them. Model editing is a bit unusual in many ways. There are some things that it certainly makes easier, but I personally found that the overall process of editing and writing code in real time for me was more efficient in a singl…
My vim muscle memory has paid off more for me than my emacs muscle memory. Emacs was the better editor, though. Anything that doesn't have Vimscript is an automatic winner IMO.
In the past, coding up this interaction would be a chore, but Gemini makes quick work of the elisp. After a minute, it's doing exactly what I need: cursor on markdown link, open to right pane, C-c C-c toggles the todo item and closes the pane; C-u C-c C-o opens in obsidian. This functionality can be achieved in any number of ways but Emacs is fantastically well suited for a problem like this.

This is good stuff :) Honestly, I am having a lot of fun just using org mode files as prompts and eventually output for a Claude Code instance in vterm. All these files get saved with the output and magit is of course amazing, just good affordances and history keeping.
