Thank you very much for this well structured comment despite your clearly visible emotional turmoil speaking if the region. It matches what a friend of ours tells about her relatives that still live there in parts. The diaspora of people from the DRC is surprising huge in Europe - a fact I was not aware of really.
This was an insightful read despite sounding like the usual shallow AI-pocalypse posting. I had a suspicion that the initial velocity that coding assistants made achievable would cool down rather quickly as we all are aware of the shortcomings of coding agents. The illustrated K confirms my gut feeling that the amount of steering, handholding and double checking would eventually consume more human ressources than a slower build process.
Perhaps current incentives and agent behavior will reshape in the near future - right now even the SOTA-models give me Golden Retriever vibes in their eagerness to please and work for me. The constant paranoia I developed when working in larger or complicated code bases has me apprehend “don’t code, talk to me” still, even after the advent of system prompts and MD-based skills.
Nice collection of sources and the author doesn’t gallop logically or starts evangelizing as the usual developer crowd tends to do when writing.
I was using this religiously but there’s a bug currently that makes the initialization fail and/or throws an error on the phone client.
Absolutely great piece of software otherwise, free, anonymous, encrypted and so on. Really hope the team can fix this soon - I would hate to switch back to tmux tunneling.
Quick feedback: the link to the API docs is currently localhost:8000 in the GitHub MD - perhaps it’s tongue in cheek and I don’t get it but I would clean that up.
