I'm sorry but that's a bit ridiculous. I'm still using an M1 Pro with 16GB of RAM and I have quite heavy usage - docker, other heavy native apps, a bunch of VS.Codes and coding agents, things running in the terminal, backgrou

Yeah, I was about to say "or an iPad Pro", but the Neo is shockingly cheaper than an iPad Air. There's definitely an option for everyone if you want to go down the "fixed supercomputer, remote terminal" route.

I'm actually working on this problem by building OctoLoops ( https://octoloops.com ) to help find channels to promote the app and get users. It's working so far (the main agent I'm using is communities, which finds

I'm iterating hard on OctoLoops ( https://octoloops.com ). 30+ signups, and a handful of users are active and replied to my outreach positively. It's encouraging and I dogfood it but still very early days. The core idea

Nope. I occasionally do human review of my own code and very occasionally of other peoples', but for the most part it's all 100% automated. I use Codex's Github code review integration and it does a pretty decent job of spott

I have subscriptions for ChatGPT Plus and Claude Pro, so about $40/month. I use them for coding mostly, switching between them frequently and heavily. On the occasional times I run out of tokens I'll go outside and take a walk or

"I have so many half-baked ideas for tools or services I barely need, sparked by a combo of unaddressed workaholism and techno-optimist wishful thinking." This part resonates. AI has been such an accelerator that just yesterday I

I'm working on a bunch of stuff, but most interesting is maybe https://Octoloops.com - it's a sort of marketing harness for indie devs/SMBs. Still early days yet, feedback very welcome!

No way in hell are the majority of Claude Code users burning 10k worth of credits. Many of them probably barely use it. There'll be a bell curve, and we have no idea what it looks like.

I find it super interesting that we're now in an era where we have LLM's that are quantized to binary weights - 1's and 0's. So effectively they're digital neural networks. I assume that in addition to the significa

I did some research on this in the context of self-replicating PV panel construction. I arrived at similar conclusions: mining (ore extraction and refining) was the hardest part. Our current methods involve all involve some kind of high ene

I agree with this statement. And because it churns less tokens, it's just generally faster too - noticeably, throughout the day, across a range of tasks I get more shit done with Codex. It's not better at reasoning on complex codi

A bit slower? I think for most of my tasks, Claude takes easily 2x longer for almost everything, even things like just analyzing code. It churns tons of tokens for quite simple things. IMO that's exactly why it's a bit better at a

I switch between both as my daily drivers. I do almost all my regular coding tasks with Codex 5.5 on medium. Sometimes for niche edge cases, or when I run out of tokens on my Codex sub, I'll switch to Claude. Some recent examples where

It's a bit more nuanced than that. Earlier models definitely benefited a lot more from prompt engineering. I remember this distinctly from building data pipelines to do things like extract data from PDFs over the last year or two - the
