"It’s not that hard to build a fully functioning, code-editing agent.

It seems like it would be. When you look at an agent editing files, running commands, wriggling itself out of errors, retrying different strategies - it seems like there has to be a secret behind it.

There isn’t. It’s an LLM, a loop, and enough tokens. It’s what we’ve been saying on the podcast from the start. The rest, the stuff that makes Amp so addictive and impressive? Elbow grease.

But building a small and yet highly impressive agent doesn’t even require that. You can do it in less than 400 lines of code, most of which is boilerplate.

I’m going to show you how, right now. We’re going to write some code together and go from zero lines of code to “oh wow, this is… a game changer.”

I urge you to follow along. No, really. You might think you can just read this and that you don’t have to type out the code, but it’s less than 400 lines of code. I need you to feel how little code it is and I want you to see this with your own eyes in your own terminal in your own folders.

Here’s what we need:

- Go
- Anthropic API key that you set as an environment variable, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"

🔴 OpenAI Eyes $3B Acquisition of Codeium

🔸 Windsurf, Codeium’s AI coding tool, may soon join ChatGPT's ecosystem.
🔸 Deal could clash with OpenAI’s stake in rival Cursor, valued at $10B.
🔸 Windsurf users were offered a $10/month lock-in ahead of a pending announcement.
🔸 Codeium’s ARR: $40M — far below Cursor’s $200M.

I'm not sure if there's a place for auto admin panels (active_admin in Ruby or kaffy in Elixir or the OG Django Admin) anymore given that LLMs can *easily* generate kick-ass and fully dedicated admin panels in minutes 🤔

I've built two pretty advanced admin panels for my Phoenix apps (so, still kinda niche tech stack) with little to no effort. Apart from regular CRUD stuff, I've got advanced features like syncing data with Stripe, or lately I built a mailing list sync with MailerLite in like 2 hours.

Given this experience I really don't see why I would need a solution like Kaffy (I used it initially in @justcrosspost and then rebuilt the whole admin panel in literally less than an hour with much better end result).

What are your thoughts on this topic? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻?
