<p>A few months ago, i took the bullet and migrated my notes from Notion to .md files. This was the second time i migrated my notes (last time from Evernote to Notion), and this time it was a lot easier. Kudos to the Notion team for making export so easy.<p>Just downloaded the notes, then told Claude to organize and remove duplicate or index mds (Notion keeps a lot of random indexes) and clean up and within 30mins i had a very clean and usable (and agent accessible) md vault. I can open it in Obsidian or other md file viewer (as well as my own code editor). I opted for obsidian.<p>Setup was super straight-forward. I do miss the visual editor in Notion (obsidian editor is not as smooth, and i find myself just writing the files in text instead of using their visual mode).<p>for sync, i use icloud, and it syncs between the iphone and the mac app flawlessly, didn't have any issue with corruptions (yet). I use the phone app as mostly an intake, and the desktop app for mostly visualizations. I also tinkered with adding git to track history (has to put the .git folder outside the repo with --separate-git-dir).<p>Obsidian has a terminal support (which i suppose folks can use to run agents in there) although i found it easier (habbit perhaps) to run my agents separately. They provide massive unlock as their turn my knowledge to an actual insight and can connect things that i didn't think it was possible before.<p>Overall, 75% happy. From first principle, file is as simple as it gets and i think this is good enough personal knowledge management. I do miss sharing capabilities as well as multi-user in Notion, so i don't think this is useful for 2player/team/corp.</p>

<p>the best implementation i've worked with was SuperSmartLog (SSL) at Meta, which was open-sourced at interactive smartlog (<a href="https://sapling-scm.com/docs/addons/isl/" rel="nofollow">https://sapling-scm.com/docs/addons/isl/</a>). There are also extension for it in VSCode, etc.<p>Surprisingly it never gained the adoption it deserved.</p>

<p>opencode is a <i>very</i> meh agent.<p>Source: i run pretty much all of these agents (codex, cc, droid, opencode, amp, etc) side-by-side in agentastic.dev and opencode had basically 0 win-rate over other agents.</p>

<p>good point, they are standards, by definition society forced vendors to behave and play nice together. LLMs are not standards yet, and it is just pure bliss that english works fine across different LLMs for now. 
Some labs are trying to push their own format and stop it. Specially around reasoning traces, e.g. codex removing reasoning traces between calls and gemini requiring reasoning history. So don't take this for granted.</p>

<p>Claims in the article are incorrect. They conveniently ignore Meta CWM models, which are open-sourced [1] and open-weight [2] and are at 65% SWE-bench verified (with TTS) and 54% pass@1 and the same size (32B dense). So claims like "surpassing prior open-source state-of-the-art coding models of comparable sizes and context lengths" and conveniently leaving out the previous OSS SOTA out of your eval tables are ... sketch.<p>[1]<a href="https://github.com/facebookresearch/cwm" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/facebookresearch/cwm</a>

<p>> 2. What on earth is this defense of their product?<p>i think the distribution channel is the only defensive moat in low-to-mid-complexity fast-to-implement features like code-review agents. So in case of linear and cursor-bugbot it make a lot of sense. I wonder when Github/Gitlab/Atlassian or Xcode will release their own review agent.</p>

<p>Problem with Code Review is it is quite straightforward to just prompt it, and the frontier models, whether Opus or GPT5.2Codex do a great job at code-reviews. I don't need second subscription or API call when the first one i already have and focus on integration works well out of the box.<p>In our case, agentastic.dev, we just baked the code-review right into our IDE. It just packages the diff for the agent, with some prompt, and sends it out to different agent choice (whether claude, codex) in parallel. The reason our users like it so much is because they don't need to pay extra for code-review anymore. Hard to beat free add-on, and cherry on top is you don't need to read a freaking poems.</p>

I just ported it to my IDE, agentastic.dev, and works like a charm.<p><a href="https://assets.agentastic.ai/agentastic-dev-assets/videos/0.6/splits.mp4" rel="nofollow">https://assets.agentastic.ai/agentastic-dev-assets/videos/0....</a></p>

<p>why do you think the previous management team couldn't pull an Elon and fire 80% of the engineering staff themselves? why they needed an external leadership to take over and do it?<p>Part that i can't wrap my head around was at least in case of twitter, it was a hostile take over. In case of Vimeo, it didn't look hostile at all.</p>

<p>I believe this is using Virtualization.framework and not Containerization API from Tahoe, right?<p>Is there a limit on number of instances you can have per physical mac? i recall there was a hard limit of 2 because of EULA, unless Apple has changed it. (Cupertino really likes to sell you their Macs)</p>

<p>You mentioned "deleting the actual project, since the file sync is two-way", my solution (in agentastic.dev) was to fist copy the code with git-worktree, then share that with the container.</p>

<p>Very few people have the expertise to write efficient assembly code, yet everyone relies on compilers and assemblers to translate high-level code to byte-level machine code. I think same concept is true here.<p>Once coding agents become trivial, few people will know the detail of the programming language and make sure intent is correctly transformed to code, and the majority will focus on different objectives and take LLM programming for granted.</p>

<p>it is your script, so you can do whatever you want; i just provide some env variables specific to the branch, e.g.<p>$AGENTASTIC_BRANCH
$AGENTASTIC_BASE_BRANCH
$AGENTASTIC_WORKTREE_PATH
$AGENTASTIC_MAIN_REPO_PATH
$AGENTASTIC_COMMIT
$AGENTASTIC_REPO_NAME<p>if you give me some examples, i see i can also add that.</p>
