I have settled on the same approach as you except I have the agent create a roadmap.md in an /agile folder with numbered epics containing sprints, user stories and other context.

Awesome project. How much work is left, are you looking for contributors? I just built very basic IDE on mobile for myself. I thought about forking vscode but it felt too heavy and I only wanted a subset of features. Now I am wondering if I should use this project for the desktop version.

I have max, I kept hitting usage limits. I have 4 projects that I will code in parallel, so while one agent is working, I spin up other agents to complete things. Most of my effort now is designing agile roadmaps with specifications, epics, sprints and implementation cards (using AI to create it, then reviewing it), so the Agents have a massive, detailed roadmap. I review code but I also built a framework where much of the code is generated by templates not the model itself so the review is mostly cursory.

Why do you assume this is a code issue? They were literally banned by DoD and then suddenly go down? There is at least a question to ask there, no?

I have been using anthropic almost exclusively for a year, while trying other models, and this has literally never happened. I have NEVER experienced a downtime event. At most a random error in a chat but that is immediately solved on the subsequent request. I use the desktop app, the mobile app, the api with several apps in production that I monitor and reliability has never been an issue.

I pay about $1500 per month on personal api use fyi.

Anyone else find this timing odd given the DoD ban?

No. I am having more fun coding than ever before. I am learning new things, building things I never had time to even consider exploring and building throw away prototypes just because. I still think learning to code is crucial and necessary to get production grade systems as of now.

Cool project. I am working on something similar but was having a hard time with macOS permissions. I am not a Mac developer and not familiar with the space. I wasn’t even familiar with ray cast or things like that before I started. But I’ll definitely test this out and see if it solves what I was setting out to accomplish

It would be pretty nice to write those simple things in one language if you have a ruby server, react front end, and postgres database. You could target different parts of the stack but think/implement in one language. Seems nice to me.

This looks amazing. We use Ruby, Javascript and SQL. I will try this out this week. Are you looking for contributors? What is your vision long term with this?

Build one. I did that for Christmas for my daughter. She is into ninja turtles and a skateboard game. So I built her a ninja turtle surfboard skate game using nano banana to create the images. The game play is bad but we built it together in a day for fun. checkout pandahugs.fun I’ll share my process if you’re interested

Fair point. Opinions about the merits of a business are off topic. I’ll consider that next time before posting.

Hard disagree based on neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology. There are multiple systems of the brain that deal with emotional connection. Sexuality is one system but pair bonding is a more whole brain and body bond.

Further, porn is generally an act of consumption not interaction (I get that is changing) but interaction poses a new risk of an influenza feedback loop. That will affect a person’s entire life.

I could go on about the distinction but I don’t want to write a thesis with my thumbs.

Please don't build this. We don't need human extinction due to hijacking the evolutionary instinct to bond with other people and knowingly guiding people down an evolutionary dead end.

There are so many ideas to explore and problems to solve. I would be happy to give you 5 for free, I have more problems in my business laboratory than I have time to build. I'll give you a few ideas to work on. Book office hours if youre interested: hourshttps://calendly.com/ryanwmartin/open-office-hours
