Claude Code is so much better than anything else. If Claude Code was a car it'd be the ideal practical vehicle for all kinds of uses. If OpenAI Codex was a car, it'd be a cauldron with wheels. The reason I say this is CC offers so many features: plan mode, hooks, escape OR ctrl-c to interrupt it, and today added quick rewind. Meanwhile Codex can't even wrap text to the width of the terminal; you can't type to it whil…

When did you last update Codex? You can queue up messages without interrupting, and I think a lot of other complaints you made could be already solved. They put out new Codex versions multiple times a week lately

Comments in code are instant technical debt. They need to be maintained alongside the code, so you are *programming" twice. Avoid comments, except when they really explain some obscure, incomprehensible section of code or to prevent explorers from the future getting smacked on the face twice by the same stick. I find myself using the latter often to tell future agents what not to do in the next few lines.

I bet you that if you let it comment code, it would produce better code as it acts like an inline rubber-duck basically

I recall a study that said AI coded much better when in codebases with dense commenting.

I'm wondering if tsdoc/jsdoc tags like @link would help even more for context

Prompt: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marckrenn/cc-mvp-prompts/r... I've always been curious. Are tags like that one: " " useful at all? Is the LLM training altered to give a special meaning to specific tags when they are found? Can a user just write those magic tags (if they knew what they are) and alter the behavior of the LLM in a similar manner?

We use them extensively in our agent framework at work for all sort of things. You can make up whatever you want, if the tags are semantic enough it just gets it, or you can add a bit of explanation about it in the system prompt or whatever.

  - Circuit breakers when it seem like it's stuck in a loop
  - Warnings about running low on context
  - Reminders about task lists (or anything)
  - All sorts of warnings about whatever

I really like these tools. Yesterday I gave it a filename for a video of my infant daughter eating which I took while I had my phone on the charger. The top of the charger slightly obscured the video. I told it to crop the video to just her and remove the obscured portion and that I had ffmpeg and imagemagick installed and it looked at the video, found the crop dimensions, then ran ffmpeg and I had a video of her all…

Cline extension can use Grok, in fact I think it's free at the moment. I tried Claude Code and Cline for similar tasks and found Claude Code incredibly expensive but not better, so I've been sticking with Cline and switching between APIs depending on what model currently has the vest price/performance going on.

Claude Code with the Max plan is significantly cheaper for full-time use.

"When you use Claude Code, we collect feedback, which includes usage data (such as code acceptance or rejections), associated conversation data, and user feedback submitted via the /bug command." So I can opt out of training, but they still save the conversation? Why can't they just not use my data when I pay for things. I am tired of paying, and then them stealing my information. Tell you what, create a free tier th…

> When you use Claude Code, we collect feedback When they ask "How is Claude doing this session?", that appears to be a sneaky way for them to harvest the current conversation based on the terms-of-service clause you pointed out.

I have this same suspicion. Worse, there’s no way to opt out of giving a response.

That's not just them saving it locally to like `~/.claude/conversations`? Feels weird if all conversations are uploaded to the cloud + retained forever.

Ooo - good question. I'm unsure on this one.

The conversation is stored locally. If you run Claude on two computers and try /resume, it won’t find the other sessions.

This enables the /resume command that lets you start mid-conversation again. Storing the data is not the same as stealing. It's helpful for many use cases. I suppose they should have a way to delete conversations though.

They are downloaded from the cloud and just never deleted.

To those lamenting that the Plan with Opus/Code with Sonnet feature is not available, check the charts. Sonnet 4.5 is beating Opus 4.1 on many benchmarks. Feels like it's a change they made not to 'remove options', but because it's currently universally better to just let Sonnet rip.

But not the specific benchmarks which reflect what Plan mode does.

Tangential, did anybody get FOMO about Aider and found a much better tool?

Still loyal to aider. It just fits my style better, as a very fine tool. I have my workflow and scripts around it, switch freely between gpt-5/sonnet (a bit of gemini-2.5-pro too) and enjoying life. I wish it was maintained by a larger team though. It has a single maintainer and they seem to be backlogged or working on other stuff. If there was an aider fork that ran forward with capabilities I'd happily switch. That…

Why?
