Agents are the new search engine - a majority of people are starting to get recommendations and answers from them. So asking this is like asking "what is the benefit of making any resource more available to search engines?"

The answer is discoverability. which is pretty critical for any business

I mean even this blog from Cloudflare reads a little like that.

Came here to say this. At Kilo Code we aren’t impacted by this because of the other places that can run Claude

Sorry I thought this was hacker "news" not hacker "stuff that happens every day"

Kilo DevRel here. We built the Kilo CLI because other CLI tools either lock you into one AI coding model, or make you jump through hoops to switch. We wanted agentic coding in the terminal with the same flexibility you'd get from the Kilo IDE setup.

What makes it different:

- 500+ models (including everyone’s favorites from Claude, Gemini, OpenAI). Switch anytime - 5 specialized modes: Code, Ask, Debug, Architect, and Orchestrator (breaks down tasks and delegates to the others) - Parallel agents: spin up multiple instances on the same repo, each on its own branch - Session continuity: start in CLI, pick up in Kilo VS Code or cloud. Context travels with you

--parallel --auto for running multiple autonomous agents simultaneously is a favorite. It’s the same engine as our IDE extensions, not a stripped-down version.

Install: npm install -g @kilocode/cli

Also: open source, and contributions are welcome. Would love feedback on what's missing from your terminal workflow.

1000% this. Today LLMs are like enthusiastic, energetic, over-confident, well-read junior engineers.

Does it take effort to work with them and get them to be effective in your code base? Yes. But is there a way to lead them in such a way that your "team" (you in this case) gets more done? Yes.

But it does take effort. That's why I love "vibe engineering" as a term because the engineering (or "senior" or "lead" engineering) is STILL what we are doing.

Shitty AI bro here.

I would love to know if and how you disagree. I am (I thought obviously) making a jump here from her desire to make FLOW-MATIC human-readable. Also, I don't believe that AI will take developers's jobs, but I do believe a developer using AI will replace ones not using it...so I'm intentionally provocative there, yes.

It's probably true in our industry too - I'm sure that when people started using programming languages instead of writing machine code people looked down on them too.

This will be another abstraction layer that MANY people will use and be able to accomplish things that would have been impossible to do in a reasonable amount of time in machine code.

Would you use GitHub auth?
