Personally, IDE for the agent era is just Linux.

Kitty with oh-my-zsh, lazyvim and an agent. The entire thing is an ide. If I need to refactor, query data and interact with the system I just use native tools like rg+fastmod, bash, awk, jq... Either writing myself of asking an agent to do the heavy lifting.

Linux in the agent era is a breeze to operate and reason about, so the whole thing becomes a single development environment that's really light on resources and effective.

What I've started to do is to use Zulip. You can have different agents in different chats. You can upload files and you update from your mobile phone. At first I thought it was crazy but it's nice not to have 3 different AI agents running in tmux
I am looking for something similar. Any tutorial or resource on how to set up things?
sorry, I'm back. Please feel free to email me at {myusername}@gmail.com. I'm glad to share with you the python code that Gemini created for me and then I asked Claude to duplicate it for Claude.
A simple GitHub gist would do the trick, just pass it through gitleaks to see if you aren't exposing secrets and you are good to go.
That's an interesting take! Basically Linux / a computer is everything you need to ship code.

If I could provide one gentle pushback - the same way there's utility in OMZ, lazyvim etc., there may be utility in us shipping our CLI etc. - there must exist some software we can build that'll be useful to you as well :)
