AI Overview
- Engineer moved from Copilot in VSCode to Claude CLI, finished 5 complex projects in time once needed for one feature
- Throng gives each project a root folder, colour and saved layout; PTYs run in a background daemon so terminals survive restarts with scrollback
- Built on Electron with CodeMirror editor covering 31 languages, crash-recovery of unsaved edits and undo history
- Ctrl+click on file:line:column links opens editor at that position, including inside full-screen programs like Claude Code
- Windows 11 only beta, unsigned .exe, per-user installer without admin rights, AGPL-3.0 dual license, v1.0.0 targeted with ~100 issues remaining

Developers report new class of problems from AI coding speed
A developer using Claude Code and Codex reports dramatically faster coding but identifies a new category of problems: agents lack context about why code was built a certain way, and requirements drift unnoticed. The post highlights a growing concern among practitioners about long-term maintainability.
