One thing that I find is a struggle with vibe coding (esp with how slow claude code + opus is) is what to do while the agents are thinking... reminiscent of the "code is compiling" meme. I actually find it quite disruptive and hard to keep focus... Anyone got ideas for this?

Claude Code is like that employee that totally crushed it for the first 6 months so everyone loves them but then they just started phoning it in and probably won't get fired for a few years

Liquid glass has a lot of rough edges but I do think it's a massive upgrade on the old UI. The apps that lean into it feel so much nicer than the ones that don't.

As I've been drinking far less alcohol, it's insane how poorly even a couple glasses of wine makes me sleep now. More time to work at 4am is the upside, I guess.

Gpt-5-high in codex has been super fast for me when paired with priming context with Repo Prompt . It's a night and day difference when starting without any context...

The best coding setup is just cursor tab + gpt-5-pro for planning, questions, etc.. Write the code yourself, check with the big guns that you're not doing something dumb.
