Autopilot coding, what's your experience?
Posted by coatweather1@reddit | LocalLLaMA | View on Reddit | 8 comments
Have any of you got new builds or daily coding workflow working on autopilot, without having to watch over your terminal/agents like you're a stalker? If you have, I'm curious to know how you do it.
I've been using a 9 agent Hermes swarm for new builds, which can delegate and communicate with different profiles for handover and QA etc. It's powerful because it self checks it work, however, it still has it kinks, what are you running?

I don't automate coding, I automate processes
I have automated workflows for documentation updating, for a11y, for bug hunting, brainstorming, ux improvement, auto code testing and repair, content generation, communication, and for generating initial versions of full stack apps.
There are a ton of pieces that need to come together for all that, you need to just look at the work you do or want to do and figure out ways to automate yourself out of it

Yep agree with the approach here. By automating the processes we can then move towards a system which maximises output automatically. Auto-pilot seems a little ways off still, however this strategy is how you build the foundations for it.

I knows people hate when others talk about the tools they built but I built a tool called Katachi to do just this, but also to do it remotely from my phone. I talk with the AI about the work I need done, I designs the DAG and I kick things off. Every phase of the DAG goes through planning - implementation - adversarial QA.

That's really nice, I like the remote push it feels like a good backup when something goes wrong and you're not at a laptop to fix it. I like the kick off from your phone idea. And to be honest, what's the problem talking about what a user has built? People should be sharing projects and ideas \^\^

Yea I can use it from my desktop as well, but then transition to my iPad or phone depending on what I’m doing, which is pretty powerful for someone like me who’s a first time dad 😂
I think it’s cause every post turns into a bunch of people shilling their tools instead of having discussions, which I get. I try not to mention Katachi unless I feel like it’s a good fit for the discussion or problem at hand.

Yeah that's first time dad maxing for sure. Yeah I get that with the shilling aspect. Make's sense, if the project is explorable then people will find it without too much shilling.

Autopilot coding? Not fully there yet. Aider with a strong coder model gets closest for me, but I still check in. Swarms sound powerful but always have those annoying kink

Okay nice, Aider makes a lot of sense here too. Claude code or a pair programmer is still my daily driver, I do want to get to place where it's auto-pilot. Seems it's still early days for this. I might open source my swarm project so people can build on top of it and make it better.
