Ugh, I really wish this had been written in Go or Rust. Just something that produces a single binary executable and doesn't require you to install a runtime like Node.

This isn't about quality products, it's about being able to say you have a CLI tool because the other ai companies have one

Fast following is a reasonable strategy. Anthropic provided the existence proof. It’s an immensely useful form factor for AI.

Yeah, it would be absurd to avoid a course of action proven productive by a competitor.

The question is whether what makes it useful is actually being in the terminal (limited, glitchy, awkward interaction) or whether it's being able to run next to files on a remote system. I suspect the latter.
