i don't even try. the good stuff will be absorbed by the corps and harness providers (claude code, etc). the less useful stuff will fall away naturally. current harnesses (claude code) suit my needs very well.

i haven't yet seen tooling that makes me think, "wow, this is the missing link, i need this" -- not since claude code started working very well with sub-agents.

Cloud agents + workflows in the future. Escaping single player mode on a machine. Cursor has background agents. I build Ito.ai to do code reviews that actually run code. There's many more but the future is escaping your local machine.

no one knows what that link looks like but you

as an example, i built tooling that lets me open claude code and say 'add MSP430FR2476TRHBR to the library' and a few minutes later there's a schematic symbol and footprint in my kicad library with parameter fields consistent with my organization's internal standards. i'll be waiting a while for anthropic to add that feature to claude code.
