ah, looks like the .app version covers that. I will have to check it out outside of work.

Great concept, I miss the ability to like things though.

I have been vibe coding using a combination of agents for the last year. Roo Code, Co-Pilot, Anti-Gravity and Codex.

However, none of the clients want to follow the development rules that I have built up, so I am trying to build my own.

People will act like AI doesn't have system prompts. Something in that system prompt enforced that behavior. I am convinced that OpenAI aqcuihired OpenClaw for damage control.

Also, Anthropic constantly makes bombastic claims and statements just to get press.

There is this misunderstanding that AGI is equal to consciousness. It isn't. I do worry that if we do somehow achieve consciousness in AI, that businesses will be too busy exploiting it, and it would get abused.

I will have to look into this this weekend. Antigravity is my current favorite agentic IDE and I have been having problems getting it to explicitly follow my agent.md settings.

If I remind it, it will be go, "oh yes, ok, sure." then do it, but the whole point is that I want to optimize my time with the agent.

I was going to ask what makes this better than just using Playwright and this largely answers that question. I will have to try it out and see how it compares.

I haven't really had luck with MCP in general for quite a while though. I have just been using Google Antigravity for most of my vibe coding needs.

Google died when they removed "Do not be evil" from their mission statement and removed 20% time.

If you aren't able to read and understand the study, just use AI.

I asked co-pilot to explain it like you were a puppy dog so you can understand.

Okay, here’s the puppy-level version:

Shot = good. Shot helps keep you from getting sick. Sick = bad. Shot makes hospital visits less. Sometimes hearts get a little grumpy, but that’s super rare. Most pups (kids) are totally fine.

Big idea: Shot helps more than it hurts.

I had developed a tool for Roo Code, and have moved over to anti-gravity with no problem, that basically gives playwright the ability to develop and test user scripts in an automated fashion.

It is functionally a skill. I suppose once anti-gravity supports skills, I will make it one officially.

I had issues too, I wanted to use my free Google API credits with Roo Code, but I could never get it to work. I eventually got Gemini Cli and now Antigravity to work.

I was trying to build a .MD file of every powershell command available on my computer and all of its flags, and... that wasn't a great idea, and my bitlocker put the kebosh on that.

I wouldn't say they were dismissive of AI, just that they are unwilling to merge code that they don't have the time or motivation to review.

If you want AI code merged, make it small so it it's an easy review.

That being said, I completely understand being unwilling to merge AI code at all.
