@neilhenning Good read! We should try to have a chat over video at some point?!

I wrote up a thing about the AI coding agents https://www.neilhenning.dev/posts/five-stages-grief/
Five Stages of Grief With the Rise of AI

I tried copilot in VS Code sometime in 2025 and was thoroughly disappointed with its ability. It felt like a really bad auto-complete at best, making plenty of mistakes and generally being utterly irritating to actually use with its need to constantly pop in as I was typing with long form coding suggestions that were often wrong. I was already predisposed to being negative about AI due to the usual mix of reasons and wrote off all the AI coding tools as useless.

@soltes I'm using also mainly VS Code + Codex, but even there, the experience is really poor. GitHub copilot for example has a better handling of the overall experience (tooling output, sub-agents...etc.), it can use cheaper models for some discovery phase...etc. Codex is brute force, it fills your context, but it calls a bunch of tools, it does not provide lots of update (when it search for files...etc.). It depends on the model (Codex 5.3 was better than 5.2, 5.4 is in between maybe...)

What's your favorite AI Coding agent CLI/GUI that can use Codex / Copilot subscriptions?

* Codex is pretty bad from my experience
* Copilot is quite better
* OpenCode I haven't tried recently but I have heard good things.
* Squad, quite good, from a multi-agent perspective, used at work, haven't setup it at home

Any others that you would recommend?

@jvalenzu I will be very happy for the teams when that happens. Even If I haven't done the last mile, I think it will be a bit of relieve for me as well 😉

@jvalenzu congratulations to the teams! It seems that there won't be a mono + CoreCLR editor shipped at the same time? If that's the case, glad to hear that management changed its mind about this. It would have hurt the teams, hurt the product and hurt users in the end.

@neilhenning Mastodon crowd is mostly in 1-3, so that I have to go back to x.com to talk about such topic, despite hating so many things there.

@neilhenning I haven't been through those stages. Despite all the disruption this will cause, I recently landed on similar thoughts https://ghuntley.com/real

It's both exciting and daunting, but it really is a revolution, and I never thought I'd see this in my career. I'm trying to convince as many people in my company to embrace it. We have a few hardcore devs, but the rest are split between folks slowly adopting it and folks in stages 1-3 still refusing.

Software development now costs less than than the wage of a minimum wage worker

Hey folks, the last year I've been pondering about this and doing game theory around the discovery of Ralph, how good the models are getting and how that's going to intersect with society. What follows is a cold, stark write-up of how I think it's going to go down. The
