Give coding agents access to intellisense and syntax highlighting.

Making coding agents spit out syntactically correct code token by token is like asking a human to code on a whiteboard.

Yes, but as soon as you start checking in and sharing access to a project with other developers these things become shared.

Working out how to work on code on your own with agentic support is one thing. Working out how to work on it as a team where each developer is employing agentic tools is a whole different ballgame.

The effects of the AI hyper scaling boom on the commodity hardware and energy markets are very much not like the dot com boom.

Outside of the obvious economic effect of the dot com boom - the creation of near infinitely scalable high margin online businesses - there was a secondary effect on consumer electronics, with a massive growth in demand for networked devices; there was then much more of a balance between the hardware growth in the network infrastructure and data center worlds as well as in desktop and mobile.

The AI boom’s hardware impact is much more skewed, as this article details.

The fact that there’s been a massive expansion in the nonconsumer market means the consumer market makes up a smaller proportion of the overall market, but it doesn’t mean the consumer market is any smaller than it used to be.
