Like for a dev server? Are you using a file watcher? I also find a test watcher helpful to increase confidence in the agents changes.
Recently, the cursor agent panel supports multiple tabs and sometimes I use that to kick off multiple non conflicting agents. You may prefer a separate window. Further, to avoid file conflicts completely, you could use a git work tree.
Yes a dev server. I can use a file watcher and on the JS side do the automatic page refresh there too, but was curious about local options. I haven't tried Cursor.
Not using FLAME in this case. The agent runs entirely separately from your apps/IDE/compute. It communicates with and drives your runtime over phoenix channels
Yes, elixir app deployed across the planet as a single elixir cluster. We spawn the agents (GenServer's), globally register them, and then the end-user LiveView chat communicates with the agent with regular elixir messages, and the IDE is a phoenix channels client that communicates with and is driven by the agent.
You can think of it as just automating the boring tedious stuff so us humans can focus on the harder problems like strategy, direction, design, GTM, etc.
The days are numbered where humans are sitting typing out code themselves.
It's akin to the numbered days of type writer secretaries of the 20th century.
I believe it will raise the standard of what is valuable. Now that LLMs can now handle what we consider "mundane" parts of building a project (boilerplate), humans can dedicate focused efforts to the higher impact areas of innovation and problem solving. As LLMs get better, this bar simply continues to rise.
We can slightly squeeze more juice out of them with larger projects by providing better context, docs, examples of what we want, background knowledge, etc.
Like people, LLMs don't know what they don't know (about your project).
I think will will increasingly be orchestrators. Like at a symphony. Previously, most humans were required to be on the floor playing the individual instruments, but now, with AI, everyone can be their own composer.
definitely want to get there soon, right now the most requested related features are apple shortcuts. Hopefully with the growing MCP ecosystem it will be a sweet MCP setup as we don't need a server or a node process.
