Development Speed

• Avoid creating UIs by any means nessesary - vscode is rich enough
• Avoid creating communication protocols - no server, keep in typescript
• Focus on a single IDE - vscode
• Use vscode apis when possible, for example getting symbol information, ast, etc
• Avoid session state - get what you see by keeping state in plain text

Focus

• Features
  • Multi-file editing
  • Simple continuation at cursor
  • Language server integration for crawling compile errors
• User perceived speed
  • Partial result application
  • Effective encoding - it do not have llm reprint existing areas of code
• UX
  • Make use of markdown preview for session feedback (this is prior to notebooks)
  • Invoke using a special @run symbol or double enter
  • Inline comments with auto complete by the language server
  • Notebooks for more session like interactions

Produce good side effects

• Publicaly write about accomplishments, for example diff benchmark?
• These problems are being worked on by the best in the idustry right now, and they will beat me or us to it. Lets go out with some lasting artifacts.
