Kinda sad if 3000 words is now considered "too long to read through rather use as reference" but some interesting points, I'd be keen to see an even longer version with actual examples instead of placeholder ones.

How are you managing 10 parallel agents??
I use Windows Terminal. Rename tab. My current project I have a top level chat , then one chat in each of the four component sub directories. I have a second terminal with QA-feature So 10 tabs total . Plus I have one to run occasional commands real quick (like docker ps). I’m using qwen.
That's a lot of cognitive load to manage especially with how fast CC has become, do you review the output at all?
Re: How I use every Claude Code feature
#113As fascinating as these tools can be - are we (the industry) once again finding something other than our “customer” to focus our brains on (see Paul Graham’s “Top idea in your mind” essay)?
It seems so ... LLM-based coding tools are mostly about speed and cost of development - corporate accounting metrics, but what customers care about is mostly product features (& lack of bugs).
There is no customer advantage to developing cheap and fast if the delivered product isn't well conceived from a current and future customer-needs perspective, and a quickly shipped product full of bugs isn't going to help anyone.
I think the same goes for AI in general - CEOs are salivating over adopting "AI" (which people like Altman and Amodei are telling them will be human level tomorrow, or yesterday in the case of Amodei), and using it to reduce employee head count, but the technology is nowhere near the human level needed to actually benefit customers. An "AI" (i.e. LLM) customer service agent/chatbot is just going to piss off customers.

#114Why are so many still using CC and not Codex
CC has better agent tools and is faster. The ability to switch from plan mode to execution mode and back is huge. Toggling thinking also. And of course they are innovating all of these agentic features like MCP, sub-agents, skills, etc... Codex writes higher quality code, but is slower and less feature rich. I imagine this will change within months. The jury is still out. Exciting times!
I guess I don’t understand wanting faster and worse for much work, and some of the features like subagents are dubious or like skills and planning mode are minor conveniences over skill files mentioned by agents.md and toggling read only mode or using a plan file. After all those latter features are just conveniences for assembling context.
Maybe CC users haven’t figured out how to parallelize their work because it’s fast enough to just wait or be distracted, and so the Codex waiting seems unbearable.

If you have no modifications or customization of Claude code then it comes down to a preference for proactivity (codex) or a bit more restraint. If you are using literally any of Claude Code’s features the experience isn’t close, and regardless of model preference (Claude is my least favorite model by far) you should probably use Claude code. It’s just a much more extensible product for teams.
Which features are preferable to higher quality output?
Losing access to GPT 5 Pro is also a big hit… it is by far the best for reading full files/repos and creating plans (though it also by far has the worst out of the box tooling)

A lot of the time the code that needs to be written isn't something that requires an extremely powerful model.

#118"Claude Code isn’t just an interactive CLI; it’s also a powerful SDK for building entirely new agents—..." Em dash and "it's not X, it's Y" in one sentence. Tired of reading posts written by AI. Feels disrespectful to your readers
I have the same instinctive response to reading AI generated stuff, but I'm coming to a more moderate position where I'm trying to judge the content on the content itself. For example, in a post like this, it doesn't bother me at all because it's still an extremely useful reference, and the author clearly read through, organized, and edited the output. This is a good example of usage of AI in my opinion.
The people who just copy paste output from ai and ship it as a blog post however, deserve significant condemnation for that.

100%. I was excited when i read that disclaimer and found myself disappointed by the limited content. That said, i did get a couple tidbits out of it.

Is that better than Cursor? Same? Just different?
All I can say is when I switched from Cursor to Claude it took me less than 24 hours to realise I wouldn’t go back. The extra UI Cursor slaps on to VS Code is just bloat, which I found quite buggy (might be better now though), and the output was nowhere near as good. Maybe things have improved since I switched but Claude CLI with VS Code is giving me no reasons to want to try anything else. Cursor seemed like a promi…
Vscode has agents built in now, have you used that UI?
