$1500/mo is $18,000/seat/annum. Maybe Microsoft and Nvidia are on to something. 128 GB machines that can run local LLMs are a bargain even if priced $5-8k. Yes, tok/s is not quite there, but that's probably OK sinc

I rather like Ace better because the key problem right now is teams not working together and shipping the wrong things. When AI can generate the code, then it feels like product should be bringing the functional vocabulary and grammar wh

That's because you're not thinking about how teams and enterprises work. You're thinking about how individuals work. An enterprise has 20 services that each have a secret key (Datadog, Snowflake, etc). I want my team to hav

Sure. It would be great if they were portable as well. To make them interoperable so that the APIs have similar surface areas and can just be used without special skills, we could even come up with a standard API surface area and create a.

MCP is more than is more than tools. Tools is one of three major features: prompts[0] and resources[1] being the other two. Prompts are effectively "server delivered skills" which are are quite powerful because it solves a distri

It would be really, really great if Codex could support MCP Prompts[0] This would allow us to deliver standard prompts across the team without having to sync manually or with scripts; keep everyone up to date. Even allow per-user customi

It will regress to the mean. The default output of any agent is going to be Transaction Script, for example. It will never on its own accord start writing Domain Model. As it produces more Transaction Script and sesles its own Transaction

I don't think this is comparable. It's more like a restaurant. You give an order and a little while later, a finished dish appears. The difference between a Chipotle and a Michelin starred establishment is that Chipotle is just a

It's a shame because to guide a coding agent, you need to have the right grammar and vocabulary to describe what you want and how you want it to be built. Junior devs should read not because they need to know how to write the code, bu

If it were that simple and obvious, Blockbuster would have beat everyone to streaming. Sears would have digitized their catalog and used their vast brick-and-mortar stores as fulfillment centers for same-day shipping. None of these shifts

That's like arguing that you should spend your time tuning your IDE. How does that relate to end-user value created? Yes, you built yourself a nice little utility. Meanwhile, you wasted those tokens and time that could have been spent

OpenClaw is far from useful. Aside from the creator trading the fame for a job at OpenAI, it's hard to see how it's transformed anything.

I'm going to offer a contrarian view here: First is that despite a lot of waste, some innovation will arise from an enterprising employee finding some interesting use case. A lot of the tokenmaxxing is just waste, but out of that wa

It is not worth switching to Pi except as a hobbyist. Something that is overlooked: the mainstream harnesses have a huge advantage in telemetry and datapoints to use to improve the harness. They have internal teams building the tooling. T

Team is a mix; I'm personally using Codex, gpt-5.5 high fast + Claude Opus 4.6 (occasionally Sonnet 4.6). Mix of CLI (Codex) and GH Copilot (if I want active line selection). We have a set of custom skills and knowledge base as well.

It's a mixed bag. I've been working with Apache AGE (openCypher in Postgres) recently and found that left to its own device, the agent wrote terribly inefficient queries, even when given a test harness and instructions to examine
