Air can simplify the agent part, but not the four-machine SSH part. At least not yet. Inside IntelliJ, Air can give you a single place to run Gemini CLI, Codex, Claude Agent, and Junie, including running agents in parallel (you can also add other ACP-compatible agents).

So your workflow could be:

1. In the Air prompt window, use Claude for a complex refactoring

2. In the same window, use Codex for a separate implementation task

3. In the same window, use Gemini for another task or review
   …

4. Become more dependent on the AI, atrophy gradually

5. Think less, pay more

6. Pay more, think less

7. Pay more

8. Depend more

9. Pay more

10. Give everything to those who run DataCenters or have unlimited access to LLM/AI

11. Become homeless

12. Devalue and obliterate your art and history

13. Devalue and obliterate human art and history

14. Depend more

15. Depend more

16. Depend more

17. Become biomass

18. Die

…so infinitely much is getting devalued, dehumanized, ruined…
…I’ve been a developer for more than 20 years now…
…such an ineffably sorrowful time to live…
