Also explains why Claude Code is a React app outputting to a Terminal. (Seriously.)

React's core is agnostic when it comes to the actual rendering interface. It's just all the fancy algos for diffing and updating the underlying tree. Using it for rendering a TUI is a very reasonable application of the technology.

The bicycle frame is a bit wonky but the pelican itself is great: https://gist.github.com/simonw/a6806ce41b4c721e240a4548ecdbe...

This benchmark inspired me to have codex/claude build a DnD battlemap tool with svg's.

They got surprisingly far, but i did need to iterate a few times to have it build tools that would check for things like; dont put walls on roads or water.

What I think might be the next obstacle is self-knowledge. The new agents seem to have picked up ever more vocabulary about their context and compaction, etc.

As a next benchmark you could try having 1 agent and tell it to use a coding agent (via tmux) to build you a pelican.

CC has >6000 open issues, despite their bot auto-culling them after 60 days of inactivity. It was ~5800 when I looked just a few days ago so they seem to be accelerating towards some kind of bug singularity.

Half of them were probably opened yesterday during the Claude outage.

Hmm all leaks had said this would be Claude 5. Wonder if it was a last minute demotion due to performance. Would explain the few days' delay as well.

I think the naming schemes are quite arbitrary at this point. Going to 5 would come with massive expectations that wouldn't meet reality.

Same with opencode and gemini, it's disgusting Codex (by openai ironically) seems to be the fastest/most-responsive, opens instantly and is written in rust but doesn't contain that many features Claude opens in around 3-4 seconds Opencode opens in 2 seconds Gemini-cli is an abomination which opens in around 16 second for me right now, and in 8 seconds on a fresh install Codex takes 50ms for reference... -- If their m…

Codex team made the right call to rewrite its TypeScript to Rust early on
