They still need someone to review and hopefully QA every PR. I doubt it’s saving much time except maybe the initial debug pass of building human context of the problem. The real benefit here is the ability for the human swe to quickly conte

The trajectory hasn’t changed: they scaled generating code, a great feat, but someone has to apply higher level abstract thinking to make the tool useful. Running agents in a cron or having non SWEs use it will not last longer than a protot

Agreed. The bottleneck is QA/Code review and that is never going away from most corps. I've never worked at a job in tech that didn't require code review and no, asking a code agent to review a PR is never going to be "

Agreed. Companies don’t have the capacity to be moral entities. They are driven purely based on monetary incentives. They are mechanical machinery. People are anthropomorphizing values onto companies or being duped by marketing speak.

I think you would be very surprised at a) how useful it would be and b) how lax prod can be depending on the company culture and stakes.

I have thought about writing a separate tool that resembles dvtm but I’m not exactly sure how I would build it. I don’t want to maintain a monster project like terminal multiplexing. Zmx is basically a single file with 1500 LoC and is “prod

Nice! Big fan of abduco. I wrote a similar tool but use libghostty for rehydrating the terminal session: https://zmx.sh Works pretty well if you don’t need a window manager in your terminal
