Clojurians Log v2

This is obviously something that I think about a lot. I'd like to offer a counterpoint: https://mariozechner.at/posts/2026-03-25-thoughts-on-slowing-the-fuck-down/.

Those experiences also resonate with me, and I wonder where we're going to end up. Whenever I've tried to just let the agents rip on a largish project, they've always made a terrible mess. It looks great and very tempting at the start, but medium-to-long term, I'm not so sure.

yes, that's also my experience as well. they still need a lot of guidance to do the right thing since they still lack a good taste or has a mixed taste (due to being trained on code written by people of various tastes 😅). what shocks me the most is the pace at which things are changing. i’ve been using IntelliJ IDEA since 2011, and i never thought i would wake up one morning and read a post about its imminent death and say “yeah, that sounds about right.” 😬

by the way, i’m curious if anybody has tried Air that’s mentioned in the article i posted. https://air.dev

I'm stuck on this sentence: "... abandoned it for Claude Code after hitting an 18,000-line React component that no IDE-based agent could update cleanly" This is... why? How?

these discussions around agentic development reminded me of this timeless classic: https://vanderburg.org/blog/2009/07/13/sharp_and_blunt.html

any word on this?
