Ball and the Amp team concluded that the coding agent and the text editor are both solved/dying. "What we have right now isn't the future." Software is disappearing into agents — Geoffrey Litt received a Claude-generated workout app, Ryan Florence discarded his workout app for ChatGPT voice mode. If you're building tools that require humans to sit in a text editor, Ball says you're building for a dying paradigm. (Register Spill J&C #75)
