I don't really get this philosophy, at least with coding harnesses.
I don't want to spend 2 hours prompting, configuring and fixing features that I need which are standard in every other harness. I don't really want to be wasting my tokens to make an application function like every other harness. I don't really want to have to repeat the cycle on every machine I want to work with. Every VM, every server, every laptop.
- cjalmeida 2mo agoThere are decent plugins for the essentials you’d find in other harnesses. Pi shines in opinionated things you won’t find elsewhere. For instance the XMPP integration someone mentioned allowing agents to talk to each other and to you remotely; or custom extensions to enable workers to be tmux aware; or adding whatever memory system you’d like; and so on
- ssivark 2mo agoIf you want something that's like every other harness then what's the point of considering pi? It's specifically for people who are dissatisfied with other harnesses. Also, you can version control your tweaks and easily sync with other machines, just like any code.
- samplifier 2mo agoI'm the opposite. I started out promising myself I'd install all those handy looking plugins (I had like 20 I wanted to try out). But I've been slippery sloped into building my own Pi extensions and reinventing the wheel many, many times. It's been months and I love it. I just keep discovering and learning, and forgetting, and doing it all over again. I've been building my own harnesses since before that word was so common though, even before Aider was released.
