    Awesome to see this make it to public release! I've been using it for a few days now and it's the best agentic experience I've seen so far so congrats to the entire team!

    I don’t love not having checkpoints; I don’t need to go back often, but every now and then I need to grab something from a previous version that was working in just that iteration but has since broken or no longer meets requirements. Typically, this is to remind the model of this. Just having one previous version is not ideal, unless, of course, you can say your agent perfectly recovers all functionality every time without my emphasis.

    Implementing my own agent (you, too can do that following https://ampcode.com/how-to-build-an-agent!) really opened my eyes to the possibilities and gave me a glimpse into how agents will change the way we do nearly everything. Pretty exciting times!

    Hypeboi returns again.

    Windsurf and copilot agents are way to go and has better ux and context.

    Is it just me or anyone noticing sourcegraph is just hyping stuff around ?
