It doesn't really make sense to me. I've been using Emacs and Vim for decades, and have been using Claude Code for months, but I moved to Codex GUI and the VSCode Claude Code plugi…

I know it's too sharp for many people, but I've also heard a lot of people say they really enjoy touching the sharp corners of MacBooks repeatedly during boring meetings...

It really is silly. The other day I decided to try this openclaw thing out but concerned about the security stuff, so I took VM for a spin only to find out the iCloud and the App S…

I worked with an excellent QA once, and that changed my perspective completely as a dev. A great QA can understand the features of a product quickly, turn those concepts into some …

This hasn't been my experience either. I personally find the max plan is very generous for day-to-day usage. And I don't even use compact manually. However, when I tried out the Su…
