copilot had such a lead when this whole ai coding thing started. what happened?

Too slow on the move to agents

Plus the whole naming confused people

I still talk to co-workers who think claude code == agents and copilot is just VS autocomplete

Here is the kind of crap they are building instead of focusing on stabilizing their core business features.

And after they will accuse the growth and all to be responsible for their stability issues...

That looks pretty close in shape to the early Ace project Maggie Appleton demonstrated last month. Edit: This short talk – https://maggieappleton.com/zero-alignment

I was thinking of the Codex app.

Particularly the left sidebar and conversation view look near identically structured.

Who would have thought that git worktree is the technology of the year 2026?

i have some fun experiments i'm doing with full virtualization middle ware of all sys calls for agents tools/shell commands/io, still far from daily driver, but allows me to do a very rich overlay / virtual file system tom foolery in place

It's kind of interesting that everyone is going for the desktop app format now. These desktop agentic coding tools are a large UX step up from the CLIs, but I still think the future is going to be remote development as the coding agents start running for hours at a time. Building a desktop app seems short-sighted as it would just lock them out of the remote option completely.

But now is now, and what you are talking about is a future that may or may not exist.

And the team behind opencode is working on an alternative https://github.com/anomalyco/rift

Hah, I have a prototype of the same idea on my backburner! Excited to see this, though I don't understand some of their design choices. Will need to check out more closely.
