> It's easy to say "just mindlessly follow X principle and your software will be good", where X is usually some variation of "just add more tests", "just add more agents", "just spend more time planning" etc That's a complete strawman of what I — or others trying to learn how to use coding agents to increase quality, like Simon Willison or the Oxide team — am saying. > but I choose to believe that good software canno…
Show me an example then. I want to see an example of quality software that makes heavy use of AI generated code (as in, basically written entirely by AI similar to OpenCode), led by developer(s) who care deeply about software quality but still choose to not write code themselves.
You don't get it, a bunch of thought leaders/bloggers jumped on the next bandwagon, so you're dumb and lack skills if you don't take their word for it.
No, you are not allowed to see the excellent code that their masterful use of AI generated. You're just going to have to read their blog posts.

I use windows and absolutely hate the mac UI. Having the current window title bar always at the top of the screen doesn't make any sense when you have a very big monitor. It only made sense with the tiny monitors available when the mac UI was originally created.
Yeah, that is an annoyance for me too but for a different reason. I have set the menu bar to be only in the internal display (to avoid issues with my OLED external monitor) so when I have a window in the external monitor, I have to move the mouse to the internal monitor screen space if I want to open something that is in the app's title bar. On the other hand, it is actually useful that there is mostly a specific pla…
The very idea of being able to have the programs' main menu on a different screen is so silly.

#686Can someone explain how Claude Code can instantly determine what file I have open and what lines I have selected in VS Code even if it's just running in a VS Code terminal instance, yet I cannot for the life of me get OpenCode to come anywhere close to that same experience? The OpenCode docs suggest its possible, but it only works with their extension (not in an already open VS Code terminal) with a very specific key…
The claude code application installs a VSCode extension on first run that handles this communication. Seems like OpenCode is lacking this integration.
OpenCode does the same thing, its just completely lacking this functionality despite hinting otherwise.

I am not thrilled to use java, but it really does what it says on the tin. A customer copied the jar file I sent them to their as400 and it just worked. There is nothing quite like it.
Go binary says hello. No VM overhead. Everything is statically linked.
Hi go binary, unfortunately you don't exist, because there is no cross compiler for that platform. Also please don't crash if you ever do get cross compiled, since the target system doesn't understand your utf8 strings.

> Due to that, and because it's a popular an open source alternative, I want to be able to recommend it and be enthusiastic about it. The problem for me is that the development practices of the people that are working on it are suboptimal at best; This is my experience with most AI tools that I spend more than a few weeks with. It's happening so often it's making me question my own judgement: "if everything smells of…
There are fairly popular exceptions to this in the AI world IMO. Pi, for instance.
I can fully see pi doing the same. It talks about a whole bunch of stuff it proudly doesn't do. New techniques will come around still, and if pi adopts them, it becomes bloated/unusable/unusable like opencode, and if it doesn't, then it falls behind SoTA and gets overtaken by next-big-thing.
I think shitty AI software is a product of being in a bubble and the pressure to move fast and stay relevant. Just like there was a bunch of shitty blockchain software, and a bunch of shitty VR software, and a bunch of shitty mobile app software when they were booming.
I don't think pi has been around long enough to prove it's immune to this yet.

Codex being faster is not at all equivalent to working better. Claude Code does what I need from it most of the time.
I said better, not faster. Primarily, it writes better code, works more smoothly, is better at describing what it's doing and what it's done.
Well, yes, but it was in response to a post mostly waxing lyrical about using rust instead of typescript, so forgive me if I got the wrong impression.
Also, that is so far outside my experience that I can’t tell if you are joking.
Codex seems to always do exactly what I ask of it, nothing more, and nothing less, and with as many shortcuts as possible.
