The terminal really is sort of the perfect interface for an LLM; I wonder whether this approach will become favored over the custom IDE integrations.

Exactly. It has access to literally everything including any MCP server. It's so awesome having claude code check my database using a read-only user, or have it open a puppeteer browser and check whether its CSS changes look weird or not. It's the perfect interface and anthropic nailed it.

It can even debug my k8s cluster using kubectl commands and check prometheus over the API, how awesome is this?

sort of, except I think the future of llms will be to to have the llm try 5 separate attempts to create a fix in parallel, since llm time is cheaper than human time... and once you introduce this aspect into the workflow, you'll want to spin up multiple containers, and the benefits of the terminal aren't as strong anymore.

as the models get better, IDEs will be seen as low level

What??? It’s literally the worst interface

Do you not want to edit your code after it’s generated?
