I wonder if the IDE will eventually die, and be replaced by something fundamentally different, like Claude Code Desktop, Codex Desktop, Lanes.sh, or Factory.
At this point someone's low quality writing is more compelling than all these people who can't be bothered to express themselves. Like I could write this blog post in 10 seconds:
I realized recently that AI agents are so good that we don't need to read code anymore. I told my team to uninstall all their IDEs as an experiment. A few weeks later they agreed with me. Lanes is a tool that enables this new coding paradigm. I'd love it if you checked it out.
Love the concept, am a big fan of these kind of solutions. I can see it also being a use case for non-technical teams to ensure some kind of design consistency. Sales can be horrible in presentations and slides.
