Chat bot are likely not it.
We probably need more AI commands and einks, less chats
In mixed-mode programming you combine two or more distinct programming models/languages/execution environments within a single software system. This is an uber cool prototype of mixed-mode, where one of the languages is a natural language. Obvious in hindsight that this should exist, but requires someone creative like Maxime to draw it out.
THE ANNOUNCEMENT: Weโre going to make the prophecy of The Year of Linux on the Desktop come true. All the pieces are now in place. Time to go all in!
Coding agents feels very human. So we naturally get foul in using then like humans (e.g. building teams and having concervations). This will prevent the most important breakthroughs and use cases. They are only deep neural networks. Neural nets have very different sets of characteristics... and tradeoffs! then human do. We dont know much about using these tools, we know a lot about delegating and teaming up with humans. This difference explains why what seems to work feels very human and we don't see many 'systems'/programs/automations. I propose that it's simply a matter of time, because we need to figure it out, not because it's an inferior approach.
I don't have to agree with DHH's political views to appreciate the energy he puts into this. I hope it also inspires others! (Agents love Linux, it's a real game changer)
