I have a way different taste, my coding agent doesn't run in a shell and proposes file changes first without changing them, so its prompt -> propose changes -> accept, bullet has the typical agent workflow, prompt -> create ch

IDEs can autocomplete tailwind classes but eventually you just memorize them, also with AI assisted coding I don't even write the classes anymore just small adjustments like changing pt-3 to pt-4, AI implemented dark mode in a small ap

it just a higher level of abstraction but not high enough that it replaces developers, I don't think the LLMs are even capable of reaching that level. Saying the creative process is gone is laughable. A lot of people make these claims

I can use Gemini 3 Flash with the harness I built for around 8 years and still not exceed the cost of a Mac Studio with 128GB, the price for privacy is very high. Agentic flows that get stuck can be worked around but I prefer developer velo

I spend around $20 a month through API fees using my own harness, https://slidebits.com/isogen . Nothing too special, I prompt it produces file changes using grep and vector search and I can individually accept which files.

I don't think it surprisingly easy at all unless you are running multiple background tasks overnight, I think Gemini will eventually be the default agentic coding agent in the future when it comes to price and efficiency because its ba
