I'm still refining and working on my coding agent, VT Code. Two weeks ago, I posted a comment [0] to regular Ask HN: What are you doing this week? and got out-of my expectation feedback. Thank you HN community!
The last 2 weeks I have been making constants and regular update to VT Code, and it still evolving to a hopefully more capable coding agent. Most recent notable release is official VS Code extension and OpenVSX distribution [1][2] so that you can use VT Code agent inside your favorite code IDE like VS Code, Windsurf, Cursor, Kiro and Eclipse.
About VT Code, it is a Rust-based terminal coding agent with semantic code intelligence via Tree-sitter (parsers for Rust, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, Java) and ast-grep (structural pattern matching and refactoring).
It supports multiple LLM providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, OpenRouter, Z.AI, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax; all with automatic failover, prompt caching, and token-efficient context management. Configuration occurs entirely through vtcode.toml, sourcing constants from vtcode-core/src/config/constants.rs and model IDs from docs/models.json to ensure reproducibility and avoid hardcoding. [3]
Recently I've added Agent Client Protocol (ACP) integration. VT Code is now a fully compatible ACP agent, works with any ACP-clients: Zed (first-class support), Neovim, marimo notebook. [4]
Building my own VSCode replacement. As a life-long Micro$oft hater, I can't describe how ashamed I'm for moving from emacs to VSCode "because" of the hype.
Once that's off the plate implement a suitable Win 7 compatible database or accounting suite for record keeping that a computer illiterate senior could use with some minor help without too much hassle - figuring simple spreadsheet for their data output they will need in the end.
If I've time after all that, I'll put thoughts how to best reach Australia's weather bom site's [1] designers who for accessibility moved their site's performance from great or excellent to total crud. Even the android phone does not display any better. If I ever needed an example of enshitification ... They need a fall back for those who's devices don't work well or just want to use less bandwidth every time they check their local radar.

Paperwork for the tax man.

You're confusing HN with lobsters https://lobste.rs/s/0ddyuj/what_are_you_doing_this_week
"What are you working on" is also regular on HN https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=david927
That's mod sanctioned (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41966197) and already failing dang's original request
