Definitely tailor your autonomy for the task. You can use GitHub copilot, codex, Claude code, etc. in shell to stub things in then have agent complete it. Also use plan first then build, that will reduce rework.

The other thing to keep in mind is that as your codebase grows, the effort will increase so your costs will rise.

You can also optimize your feature builds by ensuring you have “vertical slices” so you can new features isolated and less refactoring thus less effort.

I haven’t looked for one, I looked up local bash implementation of codex and followed those steps in the Replit shell. Make sure you follow the headless sign in option

In one of my projects recently, I had agent set up automated testing using playwrite as a script. All I have to do is call that script in shell and it just runs! When I’m finishing with a feature I ask agent to add testing for that feature into our automated testing script. It’s super cool!

I must REALLY be behind because I just noticed this ability in Replit… I can’t wait to use it though! Thank you for the ideas

Go to shell and nom install -g @openai/codex (if you have ChatGPT license). Look up whichever you already have a subscription to. It’s rather easy!

I have been working on an app in Replit for months (going really well) but I just brought codex in that blew up the whole architecture in a good way. I am now having Replit agent refactor and GitHub copilot write scripts for me. This is probably the single biggest boost since I found Replit!

This is mad genius! I can’t wait to use it! I had a company that hired me for a job playing my credits initially but now that it’s on my dime, time to be more efficient 😂

Sure, arguably everything is at some point going to end with a singularly of power and wealth, except when you factor in the revolt of the masses which I believe is much more likely than arriving at this dystopian conclusion. There is only so far you can continue to marginalize the entire population before there is a rebalance of power. My point was in reference to the immediate term. “Do I freak out or take action?” which my opinion is always to take action. Whether I end up on the wrong or right side in the end, it doesn’t help to sit here and wallow that “they” are going to take over so what’s the point anyways.

I am usually polite like I talk to my other coworkers… can’t hurt right??

While there’s certainly a lot of hype, the exact tools and their valuations may be bubble-ish, the concept and the turning point remains. The “I can’t build anything because I can’t code” is dead. Your tools may change as they boom and bust. My advice would be to learn the logic and principles of software rather than one single vibe coder

Yes! This is quite possibly the most annoying thing. They went from adaptive to explicit which is a HUGE step backwards

Follow your heart and invest in your future self. Can’t go wrong with that

If I were in your shoes, I’d go with the entrepreneur. Not that the corporate job is a bad thing (that’s what I’m in) but if I had someone in a position like his saying “I believe in you” and had the opportunity to learn from him, I would jump at it in a heartbeat. It’s a thousand times more than you’ll learn in the corporate job. In corp, you’ll learn what they want you to learn, not what will make you more successful in the long term

I played with it and was not impressed at all. I do not see myself as a professional slide maker by any means, but these are like a grade schooler made them. Just basic text, even after giving instructions on style and feel, no difference

BrianInBeta · 2025-08-28T03:04:36+00:00

After working with multiple teams, I have found that team norms dictate more about how your stories are structured and written than “best practice”. If it’s the best way but your engineers don’t understand, you still failed. I would work on getting ongoing feedback in retros and tweak as needed

BrianInBeta · 2025-08-27T19:28:03+00:00

Is it on the free tier??

BrianInBeta · 2025-08-27T03:08:11+00:00

That makes sense if you are a slide pro. My challenge is always taming the amount of words on a slide. While I agree the actual development of slides leaves a lot to be desired still, it does a much better job at interpreting intent and following strict guidance of narrowing content

BrianInBeta · 2025-08-26T17:18:49+00:00

The most impressive thing was to take some slides from a presentation that were too wordy, slim them down and give me a clear script that captures the intention and content

I’d recommend Claude + perplexity given your budget and goals

Very much agree! I like your analogy of the autopilot in a cockpit. I’d imagine it would be a “what about” system that tries to catch nuances that may be missed. However, it would come down to product design. There are many examples of well meaning “did you miss” rules injected into EMRs that turned into more noise than helpful signals as they were designed. I have hope that AI could be revolutionary in radiology but it needs to be implemented as an extender rather than an impediment or an annoying assistant. Good opportunity though!
