Even the launch trailer sucks. The people at Windsurf who worked on this must be laughing at us driving on their Lambos and Ferraris. They glued slop together, shipped this and now are in Tahoe drinking Martinis watching the sunset from their private chalets.
"Congratulations, you have been elevated to manager to agents." That's not exactly really where I hoped my career would lead. It's like managing junior developers, but without having nice people to work with.
"junior developers" is a convenient label, it is incorrect but it will take a bit until we come up something that describes entities that: - can write code - tireless - have no aspirations - have no stylistic or architectural preferences - have massive, but at the same time not well defined, body of knowledge - have no intrinsic memories of past interactions. - change in unexpected ways when underlying models change…
Earlier quoted context omitted.
And VSCode is based on Chromium (a fact you won't find on VS Code's website other than related to updates).
That's like saying news.ycombinator.com is based on Chromium. VSCode runs on chromium, like any website you visit when using a Chromium browser.
VSCode -> Electron (essentially purpose specific web browser) -> Chromium
news.ycombinator.com -> General Purpose Web Browser -> Chromium
I'll be honest - this doesn't look half-bad. It really seems like it's just standardizing into a first-class UI what a lot of people have already been doing. I don't think I'm the target for this - I already use Claude Code with jj workspaces and a mostly design-doc first workflow, and I don't see why I would switch to this, but I think this could be quite useful for people who don't want to dive in so deep and combi…
I really don't know why I struggle so much with this stuff. I believe these models / agents / whatever write code that is often at least as good as the code I write, and they are super helpful tools, but it just feels like it takes away so much of the joy that is programming to me. I'm not saying it's "right" of me to feel this way, but for me the struggle, and the figuring things out by testing, identifying patterns…
It is kind of joyless that my day is now wait 20 min, QA, report back.

The Agent Manager view providing a unified view of all active agents and allowing you to immediately respond to any approval requests or followup questions looks very useful regardless of which VCS you're using under the covers. Am I missing something here that jj does?
I’m already at full mental capacity planning and reviewing the work of two agents (one foreground which almost never asks for approval, and one background which never asks for approval).
I don’t really need the ability to juggle more of them, and noticing their messages is not a bottleneck for me, while I’m happy with the customizability and adaptability of my raw’er workflow.
Maybe if they’re as slow as codex…
So this is Google's version of Windsurf's Wave 10 before the whole team got poached? https://windsurf.com/blog/windsurf-wave-10-browser Trying to understand how this is anything net new in the space.
