devrage tallies agent frustration across AI assistants
devrage is a CLI that scans local coding-agent transcripts for swear words and near-miss spellings, then tallies rage by agent. It’s playful on the surface, but it also exposes how differently people experience various AI assistants.
It’s a gimmick with a sharp edge: profanity is a crude signal, but it captures human friction with agent harnesses better than a lot of polished productivity metrics.
- –The local-only scan keeps the tool grounded in real conversations instead of self-reported sentiment
- –Typos, variants, and repeat collapsing make the detector more robust than a simple grep for expletives
- –Support for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Amp, Cline/Roo, Zed, and Pi turns it into a cross-agent comparison tool
- –Rage reports could become a proxy for trust, latency, and how often an agent pushes developers into repair mode
- –The joke lands because it points at a real problem: some assistants are more “copilot,” others are more “stress test”
