My Augmented Coding Tools As Of 16 May 2025Is “genie” just a way of staying vendor neutral? Folks have commented on my genie metaphor. Many have “gotten” what I was trying to imply—this tool will do what you tell it to do, but often in a way counter to what you actually intend. “Genie” also lets me talk generically about the class of tools without talking about any one tool. But that’s not my point. I’m happy to talk about specific tools.
