Designer & Developer Building with AI on youtube









thinking about a new type of agentic builder a mix of all the best things out there in my head this would be it: - support for all CLIs - kanban-style interface - fallback editor for single file edits - proper planning tool included - auto split big tasks into smaller stories - test driven development cycles - deep git integration think: - conductor but actually good with CLIs - kanban style for overviews of agents - powdered by “superpowers” style skills - super clean non-tech friendly UI/UX i’d use this like crazy would support people building it too













mac dilemma update (73 comments later): going with M4 Max 128GB. now. here's why: 1. opportunity cost - every day my agents are bottlenecked is a day I'm not shipping (wwdc in june is 5 AI years away) 2. pre-AI pricing won't last - apple priced these before AI agent demand 3. vertical scaling = focus - managing network I/O across multiple minis is time I'd rather spend building 4. local = control - no rate limits, no API outages, full autonomy 5. memory > compute - RAM is the bottleneck for agent swarms, not CPU my plan now is to use the studio to power my agent swarm but rely on cloud models (codex 5.3 mostly), but one comment that stuck with me from @HEXtheantidote: "running a local model is the only way for them to achieve true autonomy" local models aren't there yet. but in 12 months? having a self-hosted AI might be as normal as having a router. Mac is the body. agent is the soul.


A customer of ours just changed the title of all PMs on their team Everyone now is a “Product Maker” Because w/ Bolt they’re not managing products anymore, they’re building them directly The prototype is the product
