I agree.

I provide specific instructions, gotchas when prompting the Agent to write the code. I churn out more instructions quickly by using my voice.

Yes it makes mistakes, but it can correct them quickly as well. This correction loop takes more time if it is a human in my team working.

Interesting!

Being in the same product space for more than 3 months, I wonder how one can not come across 2 popular open source tools that do more or less the same thing.

Like Aider has 21k stars, and Cline has around 11k stars. Both these product names come up on HN, Reddit frequently.

Curious to know if YC does some research on existing products before backing a new business.

Same with the 2019 16" MacBook Pro with Intel i9 processor. I switched to a M1 Max 16" MacBook in 2022 and use the Intel one with Windows 10 installed on Bootcamp.
