#232> Start investigating a bug while waiting for your coffee. So the whole idea is not to make work more efficient. It's just to make you work more, all the time, while waiting for your coffee, while in your commute. Ask yourselves: is that the society we want?
Or just ask if you might want to do something productive while you wait for a train or sit in a taxi? Better than doom scrolling. Maybe you're working on a fun side project.

#234Whats crazier is that Codex is free. I thought I had to pay to even try it out but nope, you can use the desktop app or cli for free, its apparently included in the free plan. You just have to sign in to your ChatGPT account. Of course I am aware that the caveat here is that all my interaction is part of training, but I’m fine with that. Even Qwen Cli discontinued the free plan.
WDYM it is free? You hit rate limits after anout 10 messages
(side note I like that they rate limit messages and not tokens. at least it does not just stop mid reply)

#235(Someone deleted a comment about why you'd want a mobile Codex app. This is the answer I wrote.) Once you've used these coding agents a lot, you develop a pretty intuitive feel for how they work, what they're capable of, what they're good at, and where their weaknesses are. Hopefully, you're already pretty familiar with the code base you're working on. Combining the two, this means you can get quite far essentially "…
When I hear about features like this, at a certain point it looks more like compulsion/addiction instead of a useful thing to do. Like, if I'm at some sort of activity or event maybe I should just be at that thing instead of trying to aim the slop cannon 24/7

AI agents for devops and troubleshooting has been fairly powerful for me.
I have Claude Code with access to Azure environment (via CLI) where app components are deployed and also to the code base repo. I paste an error message or explain the symptom. CC works through various configuration checks and network tests etc across the Azure resource list and also the application logic and surfaces the root cause of the error precisely. Easily 1-2 days of effort if I had done all those myself (this is an inherited code base) -- would have had to learn a few of those skills along the way or may not have thought about some of the checks if i were on my own -- all done in about 45 mins with basic human-in-the-loop guidance.
Of course learning it the hard way would have meant deeper understanding and first-hand exprience for me. But there is no guarantee I wouldnt have given up mid way frustrated or other priorities prevented me from pursuing this in full.

#237This is awesome. Exactly what openclaw was supposed to be. Im really impressed by how effortlessly it handles the file syncing.
My method of walking to work is back (going for an 8 hour walk , voice dictating the whole way)

How much better is it than Claude? I have both but Claude sucks up so many tokens.
I've been on the codex train for a few months now for personal stuff, but have Claude at work. I always tell people it's as good if not better than CC, but it has different strengths and weaknesses.
Claude was more autonomous and still is a little, but I think GPT 5.5 closed that gap a lot. Claude is far better at front end design. I think it's still better at big picture planning.
Codex is far better at code review and catching bugs that actually matter. I think it's better at following directions, although I think that regressed a bit with 5.5 (flip side of the autonomy I mentioned earlier). A lot of CC users claim to not like Codex's personality (or lack of), but personally I prefer it.

Is 8 hours an exaggeration? If not, how do you walk that much without wrecking your feet?
Re: Codex is now in the ChatGPT mobile app
#240Coding on the go is definitely a use case. Especially if you want something answered or make a big decision on an architectural change but need both docs and get informed about trade offs. The biggest productivity boost we made was auto deployment of new PRs so that the agent can make live changes and we can review stuff on the to. Suddenly you can do QA in a park in the sunshine without being in front of a desktop
