Do people trust these kinds of things to effectively work async and unsupervised? My experience with coding agents leads me to believe using something like this will end up being more noise and work than ROI I suppose it could be effectively the same loop I use in VS Code, but then why would I want an external tool over an integration?

The benefit I've found of external vs integration at least with GitHub copilot is in the cloud it auto approves by default and it's working in a sandboxed environment.

Yea, I get that, it is a bit more work to add the auto approve config and setup agents to run in containers yourself

I am so sick of these anthropomorphized names that have nothing to do with anything that we’re all supposed to remember now. Why are we giving products first names? The worst offender is probably Amazon Rufus. It’s all so dumb and I hate it. At least attempt to be clever and name it something that relates to the product itself. Even Google Wave, despite its shortcomings, made sense as a product name.

I assumed the Jules name was at least partially inspired by Jenkins.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Do they still pay you the same amount?

I can't speak for the OP, but I have customers I still support, because they supported me many years ago when I was a teenager taking my first steps into industry. Does it make me money? Barely a cent. But I can spare a hour or two a year for the guy who gave me a leg up and trusted a teenager who probably shouldn't have been trusted. And I like the feeling of having something I worked on still going strong 20+ years…

Same situation, 10+ yrs deep with my first client, project still chugging along while I tackle bigger fish.

Can't justify spending much time on it now but a DIY no/low code solution for them isn't a bad idea.

It’s a shame Google picked the wrong system design for Jules. Claude Code’s system design is clearly superior at this point. Jules is going to simply be another vendor locked walled garden play.

Jules reminds me more of https://github.com/features/spark if comparing things

I believe it is to make sure that the product remains compliant with the data guarantees that Workspace provides. You aren't paying for the latest and the greatest features, you're paying for the support and compliance guarantees your business expects.

because paying users don't want features quickly.

companies want features gated behind controls, they want audit trails, compliance, SLAs, integration with their admin consoles. and they want some certainty that the feature won't change too quickly.

i will never understand why people keep using workspace accounts for personal use, and then being surprised when features hit those accounts more slowly. this is how it's worked for 20 years, it's not going to change. if you want earlier access, create a gmail account for your personal use.

can we go back to have rust/go based binary instead of nodejs cli? i really find them annoying to install compared to a single binary

I find it more annoying that Discord is their preferred way to provide feedback.... This shit is banned from work.
