I don't code anymore, but I miss looking at code. Yesterday I threw together a TUI that reminds me of Neovim, that watches the agents work.

Interesting, basically a neovim-netflix like, nice one. I miss my macro, key shortcuts and fast typing code so much 🤲🏾

love the visual, we need to have more alternative fonts and themes now, and maybe additional plugin support

What plugins do you see yourself using for this?

Wow, I have been waiting for this. What always annoys me most in most harnesses is that they hide most of what they do. I want to see it all. Closest I have come is a rather barebones pi setup. But this looks like just what I ever wanted.

Oh wow. This is my kind of doom scrolling, I would waste so many hours just watching

I really like this idea. I'd love a similar project that allows better monitoring for AI generated code. Might be my next project.

You're one insert mode away from coding again

A Neovim-style view of the agents working is a good idea. Does it show diffs as they land, or mostly what each agent is up to?

エージェントの作業をTUIで追えると、結果だけでなく今どこで何をしているかも把握しやすくなりますね。ログと実行中の状態を行き来せずに見られる設計は、長いタスクの確認にも役立ちそうです。

Sick!!! Thank you!

The watching part is underrated. Once a run lasts minutes, the TUI is the only place where you notice it looping on the same file or drifting off the plan. Mine shows just the last tool call per agent and catches more failures than the logs do.

Yeah, same feeling. You know, writing code became a hobby! Like painting 🖌️🎨! You dont paint probably to make money, or to capture a landscape or a moment instantly, it's some thing you like to do. As a programers, we where those painters who paint to earn money and now we have digital cameras :)

I have many names. Retard. Cuck. Larper. Next week I'll be a new thing.

missing code and then just throwing together a neovim-feeling tui for it is such a fun builder move, nice one. would be cool to connect and see what else you cook up

I actually think this is pretty cool! Will try, thanks. Oh wait, will have to add Pi support first. :-)

Nice! I'll merge and release it when you have something ready!

There's so much focus on "how can AI do my work for me?" I think the more important question is "what work can I now do with AI that I would have never attempted before?" Earlier this year I wrote freestiler, a vector tiling engine for R and Python, with the help of Claude and Codex. I knew what the ideal engine looked like and how it would work at a high level. I didn't know how to put it together, and I don't know Rust, the language I wanted under the hood. Previously I would never have attempted this project as the ROI wasn't there. It would have taken me a year or more to learn the internals of a vector tiling engine and enough Rust to implement one. With Opus-level models, I could take it on. freestiler now powers all my vector tiling pipelines, including the map below rendering 143 million jobs from LODES, and it has 114 GitHub stars. Building this way has required a different set of skills. I don't review the code line by line. I set up adversarial agents to do that and write the test suites. What I review is the architecture, the behavior, and the results. Agent teams surface findings and explain their reasoning; I evaluate and critique. My job isn't to stress over code formatting, but instead to focus on questions like whether the engine is designed right, whether the output is correct, and if the UX makes sense. This means that I haven't "replaced my work." I've taken on entirely new work, with the help of agents, that I would have never done otherwise. It has taken some getting used to shipping code I haven't personally typed. In the old way of working, I built understanding through writing that code. Now I build understanding through managing the project - writing a spec, reviewing structure, evaluating UX. And that's helped me think a whole lot bigger in terms of what I can now do.
