Coding Agent interfaces should evolve around workflows, not just chats
lateinteraction · x · 2026-08-21
The author argues that while chat interfaces are general, they struggle to track context across multiple tasks, causing work fragments to get lost. They suggest interfaces should evolve around natural work decomposition and a "desktop" view rather than static dashboards or linear chat histories. The author aims to feed this perspective back to Codex to spur evolution in native AI interactions.
