The IDE of the Future: Agentcraft Review

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Coding agents have changed the way we build software. Most engineers still need to accept this reality, but the days of writing syntax are over. These days, we tell an agent which problem to solve.

But while most of us are still coming to terms with this new reality, some of us are taking it further. Why work with one agent if you can spawn a legion?

The silicon brains can handle hundreds of tasks simultaneously. Our carbon brain struggles with context switching and multitasking.

AI writing is terrible. Except for lab notes.
