I agree, build kite really blew me away. I know everyone tried to make simple yet powerful abstractions but it usually fails; build kite was the opposite where it was surprisingly better than I expected

I'm not sure what the problem is after rereading their post? All you need to support everything they said is a remote connection to a heirarchy of worktree-supporting sessions per project, with each having a proper scrolling feed of agent actions taken and your input box.

Sorry for the off topic but I absolutely love the Estonian House in NYC. Wonderful people, events, and food

The new model every week is not necessary at this point really. What if you could run opus 5 for the next couple years at 1/20 the cost?

> The comparison suggests that the thing doesn't do what it's marketed to do

In my opinion you should interpret the usage of "AI" here to mean "the entire business/management/financial/bubble ecosystem surrounding LLMs". The snake oil is much more how LLMs are being weaponized and utilized rather than a specific technical assessment (although that often is an issue too)

> if it costs 10x less

This will not happen. Nobody desires to give that up. Also AI does not deliver even remotely that much true value multiplier

You're asking why oil doesn't act like water. It's not really an impossible task, it's just not one they agree with.

Check out the Epic Encounters 2 mod for D:OS2. Best tactics experience I've ever had. Runners up are LWOTC for XCOM3 and Homebrew for BG3.

You do know that there's many different personalities that people can have right? A lot of people love writing code and don't care about those things at all.

I wish I moved to HCOL earlier so I could have saved enough fast enough to be you. I thought it would take more time before the end...
