I can also interact with the same session, at the same time, from VS Code, the TUI, or the API. Different modalities are ideal for different tasks (e.g. VS Code multi-diff for code review edits).

Pilot makes it ridiculously easy to pay your international team members... they also beat TW in currency pricing all day.

I got tired of babysitting Claude Code, Copilot... You kick off a long task... and come back to find it's been stuck on a y/n prompt for 20 minutes.

I have tried and they generated crap that's unmaintainable long term. Did you succeed writing a big app with these tools? I did not but maybe it's possible?

Then I will ssh via vs code or regular ssh which forwards my ssh key from 1password.
