I don't understand. You're highlighting a project that implements an "agent" as a counterargument to my claim that the bulk of improvements are from "agents"? Sure, the models themselves have improved, but not by the same margins from a couple of years ago. E.g. the jump from GPT-3 to GPT-4 was far greater than the jump from GPT-4 to GPT-5. Currently we're seeing moderate improvements between each release, with "agen…

I think the point here is that it’s not adding agents on top but the improvements in the models allow the agentic flow.

But that’s not true, and the linked agentic design is not a counterargument to the poster above. The LLM is a small part of the agentic system.

Interesting to see that you work at OpenAI but had to build a skill like this yourself. Surprised that you don't have internal tools or skills that could do this already! Shows how much more work there is still to be done in this space.

My theory is that even if the models are frozen here, we'll still spend a decade building out all the tooling, connections, skills, etc and getting it into each industry. There's so much _around_ the models that we're still working on too.

Agree completely. It's already been like this for 1-2 years even. Things are finally starting to get baked in but its still early. For example, AI summaries of product reviews, gemini youtube video summaries, etc..

Its hard to quantify what sort of value those examples generate (youtube and amazon were already massively popular). Personally I find it very useful, but it's still hard to quantify. It's not exactly automating a whole class of jobs, although there are several youtube transcription services that this may make obsoete.

I really can't understand why JetBrains hasn't integrated its refactoring tools into the AI system. Really missed the boat on making their platform transformational for AI coding. Imagine how much smaller the context would be for a tool that renames a function than editing hundreds of files. This LSP support is a good start but without the mutation functions it is still pretty lackluster. Plus LSPs aren't as good as…

It really does feel like the Innovator's Dilemma playing out for JetBrains. They have the best semantic understanding of code (PSI) locked away in their proprietary engine, but they seem too attached to the traditional "human-driving-the-IDE" paradigm. Tools like Claude Code (and Cursor) are treating the editor/CLI as a fluid canvas for the AI, whereas JetBrains treats AI as just a sidebar plugin. If they don't expos…

The commit workflow was what kept me locked in to the ecosystem for so long. LazyGit was so good that it convinced me I didn’t need JetBrains anymore. If you love the workflow with JB for commits check out LazyGit. It’s a TUI so you can use it in any editor without much friction.

Or if you prefer a GUI (still separate app, so works anywhere, too): https://git-cola.github.io/

Graphical interface won't work well inside WSL, that's why I dropped my subscription on GitKraken and start using lazygit. lazygit simply works in almost any environment, and it works extremely well even if you are not into terminal stuff.

What boggles my mind is. I've been using OpenCode [1] which had this future for at least 6 months. I sometimes baffled by the slow progress of closed source software. Also highly recommend OpenCode you can also use it with your Claude subscription or Copilot one. [1]: https://opencode.ai/

One answer to questions like this is that Claude Code has orders of magnitude more paying users, so it's more important to get things right and ship carefully

I must be doing something wrong, because I can't get OpenCode to actually do anything useful, and not for lack of trying. Claude code gets me great results instantly, opencode (if I can't make it talk to a model, which isn't easy for Gemini) gets me… something, but it's nowhere near as useful as claude code. I don't know why there is so much difference, because theoretically there shouldn't be. Is it the prompt that…

Claude models in opencode use the Claude code system prompt, are you comparing Claude code to opencode with non anthropic models?

Just a heads up that this is completely broken as of 2.0.76.

Dug through their obfuscated JS and it looks like they forgot to re-add a function call in the LSP manager initialize function that actually adds/indexes the lsp registered from plugins.

Yeah, that’s the power of TUI. I would probably give it a go, too, but Git Cola works for me on Linux and Mac without too many issues.

(By “works anywhere”, I meant you can use it with any IDE or editor, or just run it from terminal, though it is cross-platform and should work on Windows, just not sure how well it would play with WSL.)

Hard disagree. They have the best UX in the industry

These comments sound like paid PR. I literally just gave an example. I keep AI prompts in Notes for using with different chatbots. You can paste them normally into ChatGPT etc but Claude mangles them up. Claude doesn't let you buy a subscription from the iOS with an In-App Purchase, you have to enter your card, and then they don't let you remove your payment info. It's just sitting there waiting for the eventual data…

What language are you using with it for Godot? I'm using C++ with Unreal5 and Claude seems pretty good at it TBH. I don't disagree that it has some rough edges.
