   ChatGPT was sticky for me very early because its writing style reminded me of my own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

   If you like that workflow you might love the tool[0] which I built specifically to support it: CheepCode connects to Linear and works on tickets as they roll in, submitting PRs to GitHub. [0] https://cheepcode.com

   Some solid tips here but I think this bit really misses the point: > The key is to view the AI as a partner you can coach – progress over perfection on the first try This is not how to use AI. You cannot scale the ladder of abstraction i

   This exactly. I built CheepCode to do the first part already, so it can accept tasks through Linear etc and submit PRs in GitHub. It already tests its work headlessly (including with Playwright if it’s web code), and I am almost done with t

   I think we see this a lot with software development AI; the tab complete only has to be “good enough” to be worth tweaking. Often “good enough” first pass from the AI is a few motions on the keyboard away from shippable. Now with headless a

   I 100% agree that documenting requirements will be the main human input to software development in the near future. In fact, I built an entirely headless coding agent for that reason: you put tasks in, you get PRs out, and you get journals

   I will have to try out Relace for CheepCode[0], my cloud-based AI coding agent :) Right now I’m using something I hacked together, but this looks quite slick! [0] https://cheepcode.com

   I don't know of anything off-the-shelf, but you could query analytics tools at runtime (e.g. Mixpanel, PostHog) to gather the raw data, and use a generic summarizer to turn that into behavioral context that's usable downstream.

    (disclaimer: I have a vested interest in the space as the purveyor of an AI software development agent) The result you described is coming soon. CheepCode[0] agents already produce working code in a satisfying percentage of cases, and I am

    I've been building a coding agent SaaS ( https://cheepcode.com ) for the past several months. I waited too long to release it and ended up launching after Jules/Codex/CCSDK instead of before, but I'm glad I got

    (Disclaimer: I built and sell a product around that workflow) It often is, if you pick the right tasks (and more tasks fall into that bucket every few weeks). You can get a simple but fully-working app out of a single prompt, though quality

    I am incredibly eager to see what affordable coding agents can do for open source :) in fact, I should really be giving away CheepCode[0] credits to open source projects. Pending any sort of formal structure, if you see this comment and wan

    This is super cool! We use a similar approach for CheepCode: our agent process connects to an MCP server that then "drives" the rest of the interaction. This paradigm feels like the obvious next step for agents. It more closely mo

    (please pardon the self-promotion) This is exactly what my product https://cheepcode.com does (connects to your Linear/Jira/etc and submits PRs to GitHub) - I agree that’s the golden state, and that’s why I’m rushing t
