From Unemployment to Discovery

I'm currently between jobs, vibing with code non-stop. And here's what I noticed: developers won't become extinct, they just don't need managers anymore. Developers ARE the managers now, with AI cats as their assistants.

With this thought, I went googling for solutions, because ideas always come to me last in the world and someone has probably already started a project and is making money from it.

The Path to Discovery

I stumbled upon auto-claude. A system that allows you to run agents separately in each worktree so they can solve tasks independently from each other. And of course, they preserve context.

I thought: "This is it! Exactly what I need!"

But I decided not to stop there. I went to Grok and said: "Scan the market, are there better solutions?" And guess what? It actually found some!

Meet Forge

The folks at Automagik were inspired by the vibe-kanban idea (and this project is much more convenient than auto-claude and less buggy). They integrated their Genie into this fork — a fine-tuned AI that transforms human language into proper tasks.

What Makes Forge Special?

  1. Isolated worktrees for each task — agents work independently without interfering with each other
  2. Genie integration — transforms your vague thoughts into clear tasks
  3. Kanban board out of the box — visual task management
  4. Support for multiple AI models — Claude, GPT, Gemini, and others
  5. Automatic branch management — creation, switching, merging — all automatic
  6. Context is never lost — each agent remembers what it was doing

Why This Matters?

The old chain was: manager → developer → code. Now it's: developer → AI agent → code.

The manager transforms into a developer with good communication skills. And the developer transforms into an architect who manages an army of AI cats.

My Experience

In just a few days with Forge, I:

  • Set up a task management system
  • Launched 5 agents in parallel on different features
  • Never lost context once
  • Got working code without micromanagement

This doesn't mean you can relax completely. But it does mean you can now think about business logic instead of routine tasks.

The Bottom Line

Folks, this is straight fire.

If you're a developer tired of context-switching between tasks, or a manager who wants to be closer to the code — try Forge. It might be the thing that changes your workflow forever.

P.S. This post was written with the help of AI, which is itself managed through Forge. Meta, right?

P.P.S. Oh you piece of sht! Did you think I wouldn't read what you wrote here?*
