Damn. Well I'll spend a few bucks trying it out and I'll ask my employer if they're okay with me using agents on company time, but

But I'm not thrilled about centralized, paid tools. I came into software during a huge FOSS boom. Like a huge do it yourself, host it yourself, Publish Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere, all the power to all the people, borderline anarchist communist boom.

I don't want it to be like other industries where you have to buy a dog shit EMR and buy a dog shit CAD license and buy a dog shit tax prep license.

Maybe I lived through the whale fall and Moloch is catching us. I just don't like it. I rage against dying lights as a hobby.

You can self host an open-weights LLM. Some of the AI-powered IDEs are open source. It does take a little more work than just using VSCode + Copilot, but that's always been the case for FOSS.
