  1. 0:15 I'm Mario, I built Pi in a world of slop, and this is a tragedy in three acts.
  2. 0:21 Just to talk about this real quick, a bunch of people on the internet gave me money for ad space on my torso, and all of that goes to a charity, so yeah, thanks guys.
  3. 0:29 So, act one, building Pi.
  4. 0:31 In the beginning, there was cloud code, and it was good, right?
  5. 0:34 We all got basically catnipped by that thing and stopped sleeping.
  6. 0:39 A bunch of stuff before that, but Cloud Code was the one thing that kind of clicked with me the most.
  7. 0:45 And to preface all of this, I love the Cloud team.
  8. 0:48 They're brilliant people, talented, super high velocity.
  9. 0:51 So they also created the entire game.
  10. 0:55 Major props to them.
  11. 0:55 So this is not a roast.
  12. 0:56 This is just me, an old man, telling you why I stopped using Cloud Code and built my own thing.
  13. 1:02 In 2025, I started using Cloud Code in about April, I think, thanks to Peter, because he told us the agents are working now.
  14. 1:12 Back then, it was simple and predictable and fit my workflow, but eventually,
  15. 1:17 The token madness got hold of them, I think, and the team got bigger, and they started dogfooding that stuff and built a lot of features, a lot of features I don't need, which is fine.
  16. 1:26 I can just ignore them.
  17. 1:27 But with velocity and more features come more bugs, and that's bad because I used to work at construction sites, and if my hammer breaks every day, I'm getting really mad.
  18. 1:36 And if my development tools break every day, I'm also getting mad.
  19. 1:40 So there was this.
  20. 1:41 It's just a running gag.
  21. 1:42 And here's Tarik telling us that Cloud Code is now a game engine.
  22. 1:45 And here's Mitchell from Ghosty telling us, no, it's not.
  23. 1:48 And eventually, they fixed the flicker, but then other stuff broke.
  24. 1:51 And I think they're now in the third iteration of a 2E renderer.
  25. 1:55 Yeah.
  26. 1:55 But that's just a symptom.
  27. 1:57 The real problem is that my context wasn't my context.
  28. 2:00 Cloud Code is the thing that controls my context.
  29. 2:03 And behind my back, Cloud Code does things.
  30. 2:06 to the context.
  31. 2:07 So you have the system prompt, which changes on every release, including the tool definitions.
  32. 2:11 They would remove tools, modify tools.
  33. 2:14 It's not good.
  34. 2:15 They would insert system reminders in the most inopportune place in your context, telling the model, here's some information.
  35. 2:22 It may or may not be relevant to what you're doing.
  36. 2:25 That it actually says it may or may not be relevant what you're doing.
  37. 2:29 And that kind of confused the model, and that kind of broke my workflows.
  38. 2:34 On top of all that, there's zero observability, because that's how the tool is constructed, and I like knowing what my agents are doing.
  39. 2:40 There's zero model choice, which is obvious.
  40. 2:42 It's the native entropic harness, so it makes sense for them to want you to use clouds, right?
  41. 2:47 And there's almost zero extensibility, and some of you might have written some hooks for Cloud Code, but I'm telling you the number of hooks and the depth of those hooks is very shallow, and every time a hook triggers, what actually happens is a new process gets spawned, basically the command you specified for the hook to be executed, and I don't find that specifically efficient.
  42. 3:06 So I took a step back and looked around for alternatives, and I'd like to especially call out AMP and FactoryDroid, the Porsche and Lamborghini of coding agent harnesses.
  43. 3:16 So if you can afford them, please use them.
  44. 3:18 They're at the frontier.
  45. 3:19 They're really good, and the teams are fantastic.
  46. 3:21 And there's a bunch of other options.
  47. 3:22 And I have history in OSS, so naturally I kind of gravitated towards open code.
  48. 3:27 And again, brilliant team, super high execution velocity, and they don't sell you hype.
  49. 3:33 They sell you tools that work for the most part.
  50. 3:36 I started looking under the hood of open code with respect to context handling as well, because that's the most important part for me.
