I'm officially done reading AI-generated code. It's been two weeks since I looked at any of it. I think the IDE is officially on its way to the graveyard. The job is no longer about "writing code," so we need new tools that better reflect this new reality. While reviewing the code, I realized my only complaints were stylistic, and I wasn't finding any obvious bugs anymore. The more code I generated, the harder it became to keep track of every line. I found that my time is better spent designing ways to verify that the overall system works than looking at the code. State-of-the-art coding agents are better at writing code than I'd ever be, and I'm going to stop pretending otherwise. I still think these coding agents can't go too far without an experienced human guiding them, but we're past the point where we need to check every line of code.

The stickiness of Claude Tag will be like anything before. Claude Tag is designed to absorb every last bit of information from your company, and it will lock you out unless you keep paying them whatever they demand for eternity. You are paying Big AI to become hostage forever. Open source is the solution. Don't marry yourself to a company. Give yourself the flexibility to swap harnesses, models, and take your data wherever you want.

I want one of these robots so badly. Funny thing is, Musk promised general-purpose household robots, but somebody else will deliver instead. At least, I haven't seen Optimus with this level of fluidity yet. I'm stocked that we have competition in this space!
