Peter FrieseWith agentic coding changing how we work, is the IDE dead? Addy Osmani makes a great point that it's simply moving out of the center of the workflow. The IDE isn't dying, it's evolving.
Nico - NFC.cool@peterfriese I’m now coding on the go with telegram and let my open claw push to test flight. I haven’t used IDE for the last two weeks while traveling. I created a full-blown app with quite some planning. I looked in the code base briefly, and it didn’t look bad. The future will be IDE-less.
@nico42 true, but if you think about it, this is just a different surface for interacting with the tooling.
@nico42 On a related note - no matter if you're coding or texting, this still feels pretty indirect. What I really want is multimodal input - express some of my intentions using text, but then being able to point at something to say "use a different colour" or drag UI elements around "put this over here / make larger / smaller".
@peterfriese that I actually did by telling my bot to mock up views and send me a screenshot of it. Then after a bit of back-and-forth, I say implement it. It works quite well.
@nico42 it’s the “back and forth” part I find cumbersome.
@peterfriese I agree, but I believe in a few months we have much better tooling
