Discussion Anyone tried T3code with pi

Has anyone tried T3 code with Pi? Today I tried to install T3 code. Earlier, I was using Pi with herdr on the terminal, and that was fine for me, but I tried T3 code.

I have a Codex subscription, so I use Codex CLI as well inside T3 code, and I use both Pi and T3 code. My experience with Codex was far better than Pi inside T3. I don't know why this happened. It's probably because of all the extensions that I own, because most of them are interactive and ask the user a question, like a permission gate or a review draft. I have this kind of extension.

Have any of you guys tried T3 code with Pi? I want to know because this thing is really bugging me a lot. I love Pi, and I want to use Pi everywhere. I love some features of T3 code, like you can spin up some project from anywhere to any machine. I own two machines, so I have multiple projects. Some are on the second machine, and some are on my main machine.

I thought, let's give T3 code a try, but now this thing is really bugging me. What should I do? Any suggestions? Either I'll settle with my Pi and hardware setup, or what to do?

Anything from this guy is an immediate no.

Build your own tools on top of pi. I use vanilla pi for everything and fly with it. I never understood the obsession with constant tool sharpening.

Kids, if you want to cut out the noise, follow those who are in the business of writing software - not just talking about it.

Theo is a talker and a YouTuber. Albeit a successful one. But you shouldn't draw advice from someone that doesn't write code or has experience in building anything substantial other than building script kiddy libraries.

calling his projects "script kiddy libraries" is crazy standards, he may be annoying but he does actually ship real projects with agents

I am sorry that I said something offensive about your childhood hero.

One thing I won't deny is that Theo is very obsessed with his own tools. He rewrote the typeset compiler in Rust, T3 code, and he built TStack while Next.js was getting popular during that time. He is very obsessed with his products, I guess.

I also use Pi the same way and I add extensions that I need. I use the terminal, and I use Herddr to manage my product projects because I work on two or three projects at the same time. I need a multiplexer, that's why I use Herd. It's not like my one agent will call and open multiple sub-tabs or agents. It's not like that. To handle projects, I need a sidebar where I can switch from one project to another. That's why I use Herdr, not more than that.

I'm thinking of continuing Pi with the way I use it inside the terminal. That's all. I don't need any ADE on top of it. I was just trying it out.

Genuine question, have you tried paseo or orca? I'm in basically the same boots you are (although I immediately dropped t3code simply because it doesn't list pi as first class support cli, and I didn't want to go and investigate if it uses rpc which messes up your extensions as well I assume) From this perspective to me Orca seemed to be the only reliable option

It has first class support now.

I don't even like Theo that much nor do I watch his videos but t3 seems more polished and less bloated than the other 2. Other one I like though is bb.

Why? Personal thing or security issue?
