I am on the other side, I have given the complete control of my computer to Claude Code - Yolo Mode. Sudo. It just works. My servers run the same. I SSH into Claude Code there and let them do whatever work they need to do. So my 2 cents. Use Claude Code. In Yolo mode. Use it. Learn with it. Whenever I post something like this I get a lot of downvots. But well ... end of 2026 we will not use computer the way we use th…

Don't say "we" when talking about yourself.

I already do.

And yes, it is a hypothesis about the future. Claude Code was just a first step. It will happen to the rest of computer use as well.

All of this might as well be greek to me. I use ChatGPT and copy paste code snippets. Which was bleeding edge a year or two ago, and now it feels like banging rocks together when reading these types of articles. I never had any luck integrating agents, MCP, using tools etc. Like if I'm not ready to jump on some AI-spiced up special IDE, am I then going to just be left banging rocks together? It feels like some of the…

I'm doing the same. My reason is not the IDE, I just can't let AI agent software onto my machine. I have no trust at all in it and the companies who make this software. I neither trust them in terms of file integrity nor for keeping secrets secret, and I do have to keep secrets like API keys on my file system.

Am I right in assuming that the people who use AI agent software use them in confined environments like VMs with tight version control?

Then it makes sense but the setup is not worth the hassle for me.

I also sympathize with that approach, and found it sometimes better than agents. I believe some of the agentic IDEs are missing a "contained mode".

Let me select lines in my code which you are allowed to edit in this prompt and nothing else, for these "add a function that does x" without starting to run amok

I'm so happy someone else says this, because I'm doing exactly the same. I tried to use agent mode in vs code and the output was still bad. You read simple things like: "We use it to write tests". I gave it a very simple repository, said to write tests, and the result wasn't usable at all. Really wonder if I'm doing it wrong.

I’m not particularly proAI but I struggle with the mentality some engineers seem to apply to trying. If you read someone say “I don’t know what’s the big deal with vim, I ran it and pressed some keys and it didn’t write text at all” they’d be mocked for it. But with these tools there seems to be an attitude of “if I don’t get results straight away it’s bad”. Why the difference?

There isn't a bunch of managers metaphorically asking people if they're using vim enough, and not so many blog posts proclaiming vim as the only future for building software

I feel like just use claude code. That is it. Use it you get the feel for it. Everyone is over complicating. It is like learning to code itself. You need flight hours.

This is something that continues to surprise me. LLMs are extremely flexible and already come prepackaged with a lot of "knowledge", you don't need to dump hundreds of lines of text to explain to it what good software development practices are. I suspect these frameworks/patterns just fill up the context with unecessary junk.

If I don't instruct it to in some way, the agent will not write tests, will not conform with the linter standard, will not correctly figure out the command to run a subset of tests, etc.

It's not that simple. That's how I started as well but now I have hooked up Gemini and GPT 5.2 to review code and plans and then to do consensus on design questions.

And then there's Ralph with cross LLM consensus in a loop. It's great.

I recently pasted an error I found into claude code and asked who broke this. It found the commit and also found that someone else had fixed it in their branch.

You should use claude code.

You just didn't drink enough cool-aid and have intact brain.

Well one could say that since it's AI, AI should be able to tell us what we're doing wrong. No?

AI is supposed to make our work easier.
