I'm using a ChatGPT Plus subscription, and I only use Codex in the cloud [1]. With this setup, I have never hit the usage limit. On my most active days, I integrate around a dozen …

One trick I like to use is to role play the other side's perspective with the AI, putting myself in their's shoes. It give's me clarity about what I might be missing out in a dispu…

That's an interesting take. I'm likely on the same side of the split as you, since I'm very much motivated by the new possibilities agentic coding tools open when used responsibly.…

Makes sense. You just reminded me of the article "Why Can’t Programmers... Program?" [1]. Before gen AI, I used to give candidates at my company a quick one-hour remote screening t…
