Is it adhoc or you use more structured approaches like openspec? I also tend to work on a plan first, but it stays as in-session todo, which is hard to reference later.

> even the people making these tools don’t really know where it’s going to land

exactly my point to compare it with pre-iPhone mobile market: wide (and growing fast!) adoption, clear potential (WAP websites, J2ME games), many players in the game, some real market fit discovered already (Blackberry), influx of capitial and tinkerers alike, but still a lot of unknowns where it will ultimately land.

Even if no single improvement was revolutionary (even first iPhone was just a fancy phone without App Store), overall mobile made billion dollar industries possible, for better or worse, and changed the way we live. Counts as industrial revolution, comparable to the Internet itself in my eyes.

Do you agree that economic and behaviour shift will be comparable to mobile and we are at the times of Nokia 3310. Does it count as industrial revolution?

On the other hand we keep seeing only marginal generational imorovements in CPU space, yet performance gains over last 10 years in CPUs are very material.

Every new model might not be a leap like it used to be, but give it enough time and improvements add up.

How is offline support in their mobile app? I am looking for a protonmail alternative, because it didn't open emails when I really needed while being offline.

Do you use anything to orcheatrate multiple agent pitted against each other (coder, reviewer, tester, etc)?

How would one create custom tools for it? opencode offers TS SDK for it, but with rust it will be something more heavyweight like gRPC bridge (similar to how terrafoem providers work).

> 5% would already be well within the margin of difference for separate identical clean installations of windows on the same hardware.

what is the source of this non-determinism?

Did you evaluate other projects, like openspec, before deciding on spec-kit?

Feels like it can be solved wirh even more AI: adverserial models reviewing and testing work performed by main model.

Actually I am curikus to try somwthing like that myself. Is there an existing orchestrating engine (or single agent) which can spawn multiple subagents and keep passing their feedback/output between each other until all of them agree that assignment overall is complete?

My layman question is why plastic cant be painted? Case temperatures are not that high and there are no plastic parts rubbbing.
