I would not understimate what folks in 70s had done.

Update: after actually trying Aider, I don't understand the point of it.

It feels like browser AI chat moved into a terminal, except now it's on your own dime, with no freemium. Ask it `find test_main location` and it won't actually run `find` and inspect the repo. It tells you it can't access files you haven't explicitly added.

That's basically browser chat wrapped in a terminal with a few pre-existing skills.

Unfortunately, my experience was extremely disappointing. This happened on Fedora.

Instead of responding to simple prompts, it got stuck in what appeared to be an infinite loop producing nonsense like:

> Objection > work state > active > blocked > next move...

Even the response-copying functionality didn't work, so I couldn't easily copy the output. (Using Terminator Terminal Emulator)

And no, the model itself isn't the problem. I manually called the exact same llama.cpp OpenAI-compatible endpoint with `reply with Hi`, and it correctly replied `Hi`.

I also checked the OpenCode configuration and corrected the model ID to exactly match what the OpenAI-compatible `/v1/models` endpoint reports. Same result: endless nonsense.

So something in the OpenCode integration/agent prompting is clearly going wrong in this setup.

And please don't tell me to "read the docs." I've never read a single line of Claude Code documentation and have been using Claude Code without issues for several months. If Claude can make the experience that seamless, I'd expect a project with 200k stars to provide at least a usable experience.

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I wasted ~20 minutes trying to get a basic setup working.

Posting this in the hope it saves someone else 20 minutes.

1st one requires that you actually care

2nd one relevance depends on what are you doing, not everyone works on airplane software

3rd one, novelty for me

Employer monopsony can also produce less with fewer people and keep demand for labor below availability. This will also increase prices due to scarcity of the product. Just give me employer monopsony, government in their pocket, and I will give you N ways to screw the workers.

> workers share in those gains

Not gonna happen until workers obtain bargaining power and they are working hard to keep it that way.

> will it devalue labour or not

I agree with Kent Beck here: “The value of 90% of my skills just dropped to $0. The leverage for the remaining 10% went up 1000x.”

Also, AI makes workers do more for a less.

Yes, experts are not the buying ones. The buying ones are the paying ones. Stock holders. And they can lie them as easy as I can lie to a patient how I am curing 10k lines of code every day.

Then every expert who isn't influential enough to be on their payrole isn't an expert?

Dont listen salesman talking about engineering. Unless he has credibility proven by things he had done recently. Person might be zillionare but he cant buy credibility.

With scale problems arise.
