Close the other windows
I've been an engineer for 20 years. For the last few, I've been told that AI will make me 1000x faster if I just embrace it. I have embraced it, and I use it every day. In my actual work it has mostly given me more to check and more to fix.
The models are capable enough. Most of the tooling around them is built to look good in a demo, and it doesn't hold up over an ordinary working day. Your editor, your agents, your debugger, your logs and your tickets all live in separate windows, and you end up as the person who copies information from one to the next.
Orven puts all of it in one workspace.
- Your editor runs inside Orven. Neovim works today, and so do other terminal editors.
- Your agents are connected to the editor, and both of you can drive the same debugger.
- Your database, web server, documentation, tickets and CI sit next to them.
- All of it are plugins, so you can build and add whatever your work needs.
Orven provides the interface and the layer that lets these pieces share information with each other. With that in place, a production error can go straight to an agent, which checks out the code, debugs it until it finds the cause and opens a PR with a fix. You can work on the code of one feature (yes, some of us still write code) while an agent tests another, with the CI status visible next to both.
Once you've set up a workflow like that, you can run it every day. I built Orven because I wanted to work this way, my way, and I couldn't find a tool that let me.
