Note: this post is ugly and not polished. But I will add more details eventually.
A few months ago, I started actively using pi.dev (also known as shittycodingagent.ai). It’s still quite a niche tool, I guess. But once I tried it for the first time, I had this feeling that I was sleeping on something that was very cool.
Why? I’m a big fan of customizing things to my liking. I love it when tools adapt to the way I work or think, not vice versa. Also it feels extremely good when you can satisfy your natural curiosity by learning how things work and how to modify them.
Quite quickly, pi became one of my all-time favourite pieces of software. This thing is not only customizable. It knows how to customize itself, and it can talk to me. And it’s extremely fun to use.
I started using the agent itself in my pet projects. And I spent lots of time on my phone at night building a WebUI wrapper around the Pi SDK so I could build that thing more comfortably. It’s a useless effort, but it’s extremely fun.
I’m exploring other people’s creations and slowly building a collection of my personal extensions.
Today is Saturday, and I spent many hours since this morning with pi: coding on a remote machine, configuring zellij, and writing a new pi extension. And I certainly didn’t expect to find this video (which happens to be the trigger for this post):
Happy Pi day, everyone!
