I wonder what JetBrains is doing. They had such a strong lead, but with the rise of AI, they seem to be heading down the same path as Stack Overflow.

I use IntelliJ at my current gig—and the CoPilot plugin for AI, because it’s what I have access to—and it has become ClaudeCode-esque of late: sub-agents, skills, tool-calling, hooks…and continues to improve. It’s unfortunate how the AI-in-a-sidebar UI kind of hides how sophisticated it has grown, but it’s a glass of ice water in hell in an environment where you can’t easily procure what you want.

Why not? Both codex and Claude have remote from phone. I’m personally using cli + terminal from phone. I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Are there any Android remote terminal apps that don't suck on mobile? Termius is painful.

I prefer Paseo https://github.com/getpaseo/paseo , mainly because I have specific preferences for different harness + model combinations. For example, I like using ChatGPT models via pi, and GLM via Claude Code. If you’re happy with OpenCode as the harness, OpenChamber is great. But if you prefer using different harnesses under the hood, Paseo is a better fit. I installed it on my homelab and can access the same sess…

this looks prettttttty slick i might dive in later.

are people using these things but isolating agents to some sort of containerization individually or do you have like one big dev env ? probably time i get around to sorting a better dev container strategy just to isolate agents here but trying to think of the best way to set this up locally.

Had to scroll all the way to the bottom to see that its a wrapper for OpenCode. This actual functionality should be more explicitly stated, and should be described much sooner IMO.

on the scroll note, the top background had a seizure while i was scrolling down

This looks very nice and well done. Good job! Okay, I'm going to have a tongue-in-cheek rant now. OpenChamber, OpenAI, Open WebUI, OpenDoor, Open weights, OpenTable, OpenClaw, Open This, Open That. We're increasingly diluting the meaning of the term, and "open source" more broadly, that we're at the point of OpenFatigue being a real concern here.

Tiny screen that can barely show any information and the awkward miniature keyboard that's slow to use and gives no feedback, it's a pretty awful way to do anything.
