#2This resonates with me a lot:
> As ever, I wish we had better tooling for using LLMs which didn’t look like chat or autocomplete
I think part of the reason why I was initially more skeptical than I ought to have been is because chat is such a garbage modality. LLMs started to "click" for me with Claude Code/Codex.
A "continuously running" mode that would ping me would be interesting to try.

#4CLI terminals are incredibly powerful. They are also free if you use Gemini CLI or Qwen Code. Plus, you can access any OpenAI-compatible API(2k TPS via Cerebras at 2$/M or local models). And you can use them in IDEs like Zed with ACP mode.
All the simple stuff (creating a repo, pushing, frontend edits, testing, Docker images, deployment, etc.) is automated. For the difficult parts, you can just use free Grok to one-shot small code files. It works great if you force yourself to keep the amount of code minimal and modular. Also, they are great UIs—you can create smart programs just with CLI + MCP servers + MD files. Truly amazing tech.

How good is Gemini CLI compared to Claude code and openAi codex?

I started with Claude Code, realized it was too much money for every message, then switched to Gemini CLI, then Qwen. Probably Claude Code is better, but I don't need it since I can solve my problems without it.

I absolutely agree with this sentiment as well and keep coming back to it. What I want is more of an actual copilot which works in a more paired way and forces me to interact with each of its changes and also involves me more directly in them, and teaches me about what it's doing along the way, and asks for more input.
A more socratic method, and more augmentic than "agentic".
Hell, if anybody has investment money and energy and shares this vision I'd love to work on creating this tool with you. I think these models are being misused right now in attempt to automate us out of work when their real amazing latent power is the intuition that we're talking about on this thread.
Misused they have the power to worsen codebases by making developers illiterate about the very thing they're working on because it's all magic behind the scenes. Uncorked they could enhance understanding and help better realize the potential of computing technology.

Try what I've done: use the Claude Code tool but point your ANTHROPIC_URL at a DeepSeek API membership. It's like 1/10th the cost, and about 2/3rds the intelligence.
Sometimes I can't really tell.

Claude code ux is really good, though.

#10> For example, how nice would it be if every time tests fail, an LLM agent was kicked off with the task of figuring out why, and only notified us if it did before we fixed it?
You can use Git hooks to do that. If you have tests and one fails, spawn an instance of claude a prompt -p 'tests/test4.sh failed, look in src/ and try and work out why'
$ claude -p 'hello, just tell me a joke about databases'
A SQL query walks into a bar, walks up to two tables and asks, "Can I JOIN you?"
$
> An example hook script to verify what is about to be pushed. Called by "git push" after it has checked the remote status, but before anything has been pushed. If this script exits with a non-zero status nothing will be pushed.
I like this idea. I think I shall get Claude to work out the mechanism itself :)
It is even a suggestion on this Claude cheet sheet
