… To find out, I put both coding agents through a series of real-world tests designed around practical problems most people would actually want solved, from tracking subscriptions and comparing grocery prices to calculating whether financing a major purchase is truly worth it. …
… But at the same time, my impression is that actually having real transparency about the token usage of “this task did this much because you did this instead of this”—that’s actually hard to do. …
… Over the past year, AI coding tools have become a major part of my daily workflow for real development tasks. But along the way, I realized something completely unexpected: the real difference wasn’t the raw intelligence of the models. …
… When OpenAI finished training o3 in early 2025—a model optimized for coding even more than o1—it finally had the foundation to build a real AI coding product. …
Claude Code and Codex Can Have Real-Time Conversation via Git
Does using claude code make you more/less likely to use front end frameworks?I've been using it for a while to develop internal tools and I've been really impressed at how you can build complex applications with just pur…
It’s well known at this point that documentation needs to be optimized for AI agents - we’re all pointing our Claude Code / Codex / Pi agents at documentation, and expecting the models to figure out how to implement a pr…
I have been a long time user of Claude Code. I never felt the need to try other coding tools, and the times I did, I always came back. Across many projects, personal and professional, Claude has been my pair programmer. …
Data is “the new oil” for AI.What if you could “plug in” to an oil well, and get royalties forever whenever that well’s oil was used?Right now, the people who build those datasets get paid once, if at all. There's no rec…
… Both tools used something called localStorage and BrodcastChannel to simulate real-time collaboration, essentially meaning that the app only worked across tabs on the same browser. You couldn't really open it on your phone or send the link to a friend and see how it held up in real-time. …
… Given I’d been vibe-coding in a general-purpose chatbot this whole time, I decided to give these dedicated vibe-code tools a real shot and see if they could actually give me anything worthwhile. …
… Plenty of people want an AI tool that saves time by producing implementation work directly. That expectation exists for a reason. Repetitive coding tasks are real, and nobody enjoys spending extra time on them just to prove some point about craftsmanship. …
… The reality is that agentic tools need deep access to your system or project to be useful. It's a trade-off about how much data you're willing to let the tool have , and this leak reveals exactly how much you've already been sharing without realizing it.
… But if you are using it on a real-world project — one with authentication walls and complex state management, the magic quickly fades away the moment you have to log back into your environment for the tenth time. …
… There are times when they end up with more or less the same solution, and times when one of them sees something the other missed entirely. …
