If you want to script in Rust, xshell (https://docs.rs/xshell/latest/xshell/) is explicitly inspired by dax.
I just got native LSP working this past weekend and in sublime it's as much as: { "clients": { "remote-gopls": { "command": [ "tool", "lsp", "gopls" ], "enabled": false, "selector": "source.go", }, } }
From what you built so far, do you think there's any appetite in people paying for this type of tool which lets you spin up infra on demand and gives you all the capabilities built so far? I'm skeptical and I may just release it all as OSS when it gets closer to being v1.0.
(I'm not the author) The easiest way to charge for this kind of software is to make it SaaS, and I think that's pretty gross, especially for a CLI tool.

It doesn't have to be one or the other: you could sell the software under libre[1] terms, for example.
It's very easy to get hit with a massive bill due to just leaving instances around.
sudo shutdown +15 (or other amount of minutes)
when I need a compute instance and don’t want to forget to turn it off. It’s a simple trick that will save you in some cases.
Are they really late? Has everyone started using agents and paying $200 subscriptions?
Am I the one wrong here or these expressions of "falling behind" are creating weird FOMO in the industry?
It is the very definition of FOMO if there is an entire cult of people telling you that for a year, and yet after a year of hearing about how "everything has changed", there is still not a single example of amazing vibe-coded software capable of replacing any of the real-world software people use on a daily basis. Meanwhile Microsoft is shipping more critical bugs and performance regressions in updates than ever while boasting about 40% of their code being LLM-generated or whatever. It is especially strange to cite "Windows as a great example" when 2025 was perhaps one of the worst years I can remember for Windows updates despite, or perhaps because of, LLM adoption.
I think for me it's a case of fear of being left behind rather than missing out.
I've been a developer for over 20 years, and the last six months has blown me away with how different everything feels.
This isn't like JQuery hitting the scene, PHP going OO or one of the many "this is a game changer" experiences if I've had in my career before.
This is something else entirely.
If anything in my small circle the promise is waning a bit, in that even the best models on the planet are still kinda shitty for big project work. I work as a game dev and have found agents to only be mildly useful to do more of what I've already laid out, I only pay for the $100 annual plan with jetbrains and that's plenty. I haven't worked at a big business in a while, but my ex-coworkers are basically the same. a friend only uses chat now because the agents were "entirely useless" for what he was doing.
I'm sure someone is getting use out of them making the 10 billionth node.js express API, but not anyone I know.
Especially considering that these 200$ subscriptions are just the start because those companies are still mostly operating at a loss.
It's either going to be higher fees or Ads pushed into the responses. Last I need is my code sprinkled with Ads.
Wait, this is how people vibe code? I thought it was just giving instruction line by line and refining your program. People are really creating a dense, huge spec for their project first?
I have not seen any benefit of AI in programming yet, so maybe I should try it with specs and like a auto-complete as well.
