This might be one of the strangest product video editing decisions I've seen.

Yeah, it has me wondering why this project is trying to entertain me with a video.

Has there ever been an IDE demo video with better music?

The intro to Erlang: The Movie has a pretty boss anthem. (if you squint, Erlang/OTP is kind of an IDE, when you live in the REPL) https://youtu.be/xrIjfIjssLE

Is this just a vibe-coded IDE? The tagline "Modular IDE designed for agentic coding" and description don't really summarize what this does differently, and I'm not looking at a video to figure that out.

The video seems to be about mushrooms.

Yes, 90% of software in HN main page these days are vibe coded slop that no one uses.

Ok, I am sold on this. I give you 60 billion!

Like with most full products that are vibecoded, there's very little to no originality in this - just strange packaging of things that already exist.

Repackaging of existing concepts is kind of just what a lot of new tech products are, right?

But the ones that repackage as part of improvement are the ones that usually stick. Repackaging as a lesser product only works if your brand strength is being cheap.

no argument there.

if someone would give me 60bn to put a chatbox in vscode I would happily do it

It would appear that the author of this posted a big pile of AI slop describing project and was heavily downvoted.

So, Antigravity 2.0 then?

Cursor 3 as well.

Antigravity 2.0 looks exactly like codexia (as of 0.26, I forked it)

Am I the only one who is getting tired of all the AI stuff in VS Code? I just want to open my ide and not be greeted by a dozen AI prompts begging to have it code something for me.

Its such a distraction. I want less of this stuff not more of it.
