Spent an hour or so testing coding agents on plane wifi, Gemini and codex work great, Claude spends a minute per action, unusable . 🤷‍♂️

review your mcp tool schemas every once in a while i noticed my web search tool spent 4,000 tokens on timezone enums for every single prompt!

playwright mcp was like 13,000 tokens in full!, what a mess. re-wrote it in my own mcp wrapper, down to under 300 tokens as a single 'browser-hub' did the same for an openai web search tool any agent harness can call (gpt-5.2 web search is best) github.com/cipher982/mcp-…

Need to find a smoother mobile coding experience. Current setup is just using Screens on iOS basically a vnc style app but very polished. Quite a pain to zoom and pan around. Really just good for small follow ups in an ongoing session. Maybe it would work better on iPad

opus 4.5 loves to throw in a max_tokens on any llm calls it writes, which inevitably is too low (because it doesnt think about reasoning tokens) and crashes everything later on

my girl just passed me and seeing my screen said "this is the most depressing shit i've seen.. 7 black windows.. all day long.. awful"

Two things opus loves to do: - option A, option B, then 'lets do hybrid C' - leaving compatibility layers/shims

I wonder what the 'running multiple agents at once' flow looks like for most people. I have about 5-6 tabs on my terminal window, and just have a continuous loop of : review & respond, click tab to the right, review & respond, etc until i get to the end, then loop back to the

Thats a first, the new gpt 5.2 codex model just throwing in a random russian word? after i pasted a link to some google docs

I've seen enough. tokens are cheap and lines of code are fast, im ripping langchain/langgraph out of all my projects. Almost all bugs in encounter result from fighting various abstractions from that ecosystem. i think i can rebuild bespoke implementations as needed for it all.

claude code when i post api keys into chat: 'thanks, i'll use those now' codex: 'oh no! you gave me sensitive information, rotate your keys and scrub this session'
