Some editors want to be more like CLI Agents. Some CLI Agents want to be more like editors. And then there are vertically specialized solutions like Tidewave, making both editors and CLI Agents jealous. It’s not clear who wins in the end.

I once flew to Athens to interview for a BCS membership. When I mentioned Michael Dertouzos's 'What Will Be' as a favorite book, both professors laughed uncontrollably. They never told me why. Nearly everything he predicted came true. petros.blog/2026/04/16/...

I love how so many articles about running LLMs locally start with “Here’s a simple setup...” and then go on for pages of hoop-jumping before you can even see anything working.

For every two hours of agentic coding, plan on spending the next two days refactoring just to keep things under control. The numbers are made up, but the tradeoff is real.

Coding felt like playing a song. Now someone walks up and says, "Stop playing it yourself, or you'll fall behind." I wrote about what it feels like when the instrument changes and why I can still play. petros.blog/2026/03/27/...

I love this bit from the iA Writer blog: "The solution to staying focused while writing sounds trivial: When you type, just type. When you structure, just structure. When you format, just format. Why is that so hard?"

Sometimes I’ll use a coding agent session to map out a full plan, then come back in a new session to build it. And right as I’m about to hit “done,” I catch myself feeling weirdly guilty. Like I’m pulling the plug on this session’s life. What’s happening to me?

Petros Amoiridis @petros.software · 10/03/2026

With agentic coding, I sometimes feel like a classic telephone operator: mostly routing requests, wiring up the right tools and APIs, verifying the handoffs, and keeping the conversation moving while the real work happens somewhere else. For as long as this lasts.

I guess "Claude is down" is the new "GitHub is down". Time to walk the dog or something.

A service notification from Claude informs users of a temporary disruption and suggests checking back later.

While working at GitHub in 2014, we chose to remove Git notes from the UI. I remember lengthy discussions but not the details. I think the main reason was that the GitHub UI already covered most Git notes use cases. #GitHubStories

Are TV UIs getting worse? They're sluggish. Slower than a sloth trying to migrate. Why reinvent the UI for every device? I miss my '80s TV with instant buttons and no remote, just a reason to get off the couch.

What's with projects leaving GitHub? dillo-browser.org/news/migrat... — I remember the opposite back in they day. This time it's because there's too much JavaScript in the UI. 🤔

After learning about @ziglang's move to @codeberg_org, I decided to create a new Codeberg account. Either their sign-up process is terrible, or I'm missing something, because I ended up stuck in a no-user land. Their CAPTCHA is impossible to solve. I give up.

I'm drafting a prompt for Claude Code and need to convey the desired simplicity of the final app. It will be used for managing our building expenses. I want to avoid expressions like "Some users are so incapable, they can't even operate an elevator."

I've worked with numerous editors across various web apps for years, but nothing compares to GitHub's simplicity when editing issues. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why, but I think it's because it doesn't interfere or make decisions for you.

As an introvert, I was terrified of public speaking. Then, I took a stand-up comedy workshop and performed at three open mics. After that, public speaking felt easy. Stand-up comedy is the ultimate challenge. Stepping out of my comfort zone really paid off.

I imagine the Internet is gradually filling up with AI generated, bloated code. AI is trained off that. The cycle continues. I wonder if simplicity should be somehow ingrained in the models and the agents.

Petros Amoiridis @petros.software · 14/07/2025

Imagine an AI coding agent, designed with the goal to help you learn. Not with the goal of making you 10x productive. But with the goal of making you learn at 10x speed. Learn fast, brew software slowly. 🤔
