What's the difference?

To some, it's less authentic. In my mind, it's like "building" a house, when the truth it, you orchestrated contractors who did the actual work. A different set of skills, not necessarily less impressive, but probably is depending on the audience. (In my example, you wouldn't want to shoulder way into a group of tradesmen and talk about your building prowess)

The difference is that the resulting software is useless, buggy, unpolished, will only be used by the person who prompted it and only for about three days before they get tired of it, and that nothing was learned.

That's what I'm not getting about these kinds of posts. What is the point of sharing this? It's just a bunch of nothing.

Hey, actually my goal is to stop using my IDE, it'll be one less subscription for me. So I won't get tired of this, I plan on using it daily. I've spent quite a few years obsessing over software quality so I won't accept unpolished and buggy!

What might you build when you let Claude take care of commits? :-)

great idea! this use case is the only reason left why I start VS codium.

This is basically what the agentic apps do already right? Like Codex, Claude Desktop, Copilot etc. Except with those I can also write commands to the AI as well as review their output all in one app rather than multiple.

Hey, by this do you mean viewing a diff of before and after? If so I get what you mean, but given how important the review is pre-PR I do always come back to IDE.

Why would you choose to have the ai use a language you don't understand? Isn't this basically admitting you had nothing to do with this project and anyone else could pay an ai to make the same thing easily?
Is this something you expect other people to use?
Are you planning to maintain this?
Are you making a point about ai capabilities?
Is this just a joke?
I guess I don't really understand the point of posts like this.

This is amazing and I will use this! Does it support git submodules? I like how VSCode divides changes into buckets across all git repos in current workspace, I can commit each separately from one sidebar.

Hey! That's actually something I haven't checked, none of my active projects use them. I expect it won't break but I haven't designed the diff to account for that. I will take a look though it's a great point.

Great. Otherwise I will find time to send a PR sometime.

The primary value of IDEs in the agentic era are: debugging, code review (with good diffing), and management of the agent’s context. I also use mine for browsing databases, but not everyone does that.
You seem to have one of those three. I’m not sure what your coding background is, but debuggers/profilers are incredibly useful and important, and it’s essentially malpractice for a developer never to use them.

Such a cringy and unpleasant statement... OP is smart to adjust to change. I have hand-written software for the past 30 years, and the moment I stop using my IDE, you’d tell me don’t know what I am doing?? Dude, I probably was writing assembly code by hand when there were no IDEs and you were still trying to figure out the taste of Play-Doh. Some people really need to put their head in the right place.

Just wait for the moment you need to write code for an embedded platform that doesn't have a debugging mechanism.
I've been programming for more than 30 years. Funnily, I used to use debuggers A LOT (in Borland Turbo C++ DOS "IDE" times, Visual Basic, Eclipse, Netbeans, Adobe Flash Builder, etc). But nowadays I seldomly use the debugger, if at all.

It is a little crazy to accuse people not using the dev tools you like to use of malpractice.

Hey! I'm a web and mobile developer for past 12 years and have wrote quite a lot of code over the years (github for receipts). I actually even written a mobile application profiler, it's on GitHub.
Debugging and profiling has always been outside of the IDE for me, except when I started out as a Java Developer.

Woah woah, temper down the assertion my friend!
Profiling is a tool meant for processes that relate to performance, or hot spots. Debuggers when integrated well[1], are great tools but compete with print based debugging which is a much more general skill one uses and needs to learn.
Let's reserve malpraxis considerations for writing code without any true thought given for security, privacy, accessibility and human rights affected.
[1] and I don't like the interface of any of the debuggers I used. Except maybe in ghci, if I had the patience to script a Tcl/Tk frontend one day.

what kind of noob uses debugger from within their IDE?

I got out of the habit of leaning on debuggers with first making sure I'm not lacking in logging. I can't remember the last time I actually needed to set a break point.
My guess is this made it to the front page solely from the Rust boost.
