Capy's @xPolarrr on why Patrick Collison is right that agentic coding harnesses shouldn't be primarily terminal-based: "We saw this yesterday, and we kind of realized he's talking specifically about what we're building. We're building Capy to be a web-based agent platform where you could start an agent from Slack, from Linear, from Sentry, from your phone or wherever you use your agents." "We've seen in the past 40, 50, 60 years that we started with text editors in our terminals, like Vim,…

I love agentic coding harnesses, but they shouldn't be primarily terminal-based. The terminal is great for quick and precise commands, but information density is extremely low and UI affordances are minimal. Maybe provision of TUIs is worthwhile for occasional use (when establishing a tunnel is too annoying, or something), but it feels very strange for this to be the default modality. It took a long time for dynamic language REPLs to break out of the terminal (Jupyter notebooks and similar); I hope we don't have to wait as long for the harnesses.
