Accidental Tech Podcast680: A Lot of Holes in That Cheese

Our home screens, desktop audio setups, document-saving models, what we hope to “experience” next week, and where not to aim snow.
Nathan King@atpfm @siracusa I’m a huge proponent of your work, but your view on AI is a rooted in a standard chat interface. Agent orchestration is here, with teams of agents with specialized skills swarming on an issue. One assistant can make dumb mistakes, but a *team* with a reviewer recognizes issues and iterates until all issues are resolved. Be prepared for your relationship with coding to change this year.

John Siracusa@NathanKing I am very aware of such systems (and I assume even Claude Code and Codex use similar techniques at a smaller scale). I am confident that coding tools are useful because I have used them myself, and I am aware of larger-scale efforts like Gas Town and OpenClaw at the bleeding edge. So I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with me about.
@siracusa Sorry, not disagreeing. I incorrectly assumed that you had only used vanilla Claude code without any custom skills or tools. A lot of developers aren’t aware of those things and end up having a bad experience.
@NathanKing My experience with Claude Code has been great, including the various tools and skills I've tried. I found it more impressive than Codex and Gemini, overall.
