I was playing catch up with how AI is utilized in software development.
Initially I was just using Claude CLI and Codex CLI, and I didn’t understand the need for Pi and OpenCode. But as I used them more, I realized that the agent is different from the model. An agent is the orchestrator of a model.
Now I am hooked on Pi because it is minimal. I like minimal stuff. When I started using Python, I really liked Flask because it is also minimal and extensible. Pi gives me that same feeling, it stays out of my way and lets me build only what I need. That’s exactly the kind of tool I want to keep reaching for.
