I am on this trajectory too; opencode got me started but I tried to understand the way it is working and to do that I would normally read the source code, but the source code is really not fun.

This seems to be quite common. You start with OpenCode (assuming you're someone who skips all the Claude Code hype); then you start thirsting for more, and switch to oh-my-pi.

I generally view the kind of code in projects like OpenCode to be the same as binary machine code, and the harness that works on it is the compiler. The source code is the prompts (I guess), except we live in a weird state now we use the existing machine code + more prompts to make even more machine code.

Yeah, this has been my progression as well. Maybe next it'll be just using plain pi when you figured out exactly what you want from omp and what you don't

I like how browser and websearch is handled in omp. But I only like these two features, it might be time for me to actually spend some time with pi

No one here started with Aider? Or even text-generation-webui? Or SillyTavern? Or were they too pseudo-agentic? :)
