I use coding agents daily. So far, they are good for first-order effects. Things like “Fast typewriter” (doing something I would do but without interface delays) or “super copy paste” (altering an example and applying it with nuance in several places) or “super tab complete” (suggesting large blocks of text/code vs just single symbols) or even “meta bash” (asking for scripts that do oneoff analysis or processing of a few data sets you have lying around).

Preamble

The ability of humans to exchange information quickly and efficiently is our super power. Our other limited abilities and general fragility could not have made us the dominant species of the entire planet, and enabled us to do the things we do. More specifically, the written and verbal expression of culture has enabled the alignment of the individuals of our species toward long term goals of incredible complexity. So pervasive is our reliance on verbal and written communication that I believe it deserves to be considered a fundamental right. Moreover, it is imperative to establish norms in the kinds of exchanges and how they evolve, and what ideas are allowed or what cross examinations are considered polite and welcome, if only to increase the quality of discourse for exchangers and observers alike.
