Why not work the same amount and be at your desk less?
Whats 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.
How much better is it than Claude? I have both but Claude sucks up so many tokens.
Codex is far less frustrating and manages context better. It's also costing me about 1/3rd as much as Opus 4.7 on CC.

I switched some time after Anthropic bricked their models with adaptive thinking. It's a legit mystery to me how people are still using CC professionally. Codex is far less frustrating and manages context better. It's also costing me about 1/3rd as much as Opus 4.7 on CC.

I think it's free for about 2 useful requests and then you have to upgrade or wait?
So basically a 20$ Claude plan lmao
MAYBE the 50% overall is true, but the double usage during a 5 hour window i just dont see it at all. I've maxed 3 5 hour windows since this happened, 0% chance it was double as much as normal, i ate up about 4-5% of my weekly total each time(this was ~10% each time pre announcements). wish i could give token numbers but its obscured i just know it was around 120k 4.6 with some delegation to sonnet subagents.
So SURE its almost certainly more allotted weekly, but if those totals are consistent for 5 hour blocks, you gotta split your daily usage into at least 3 sessions with 5 hours between them to even hit that weekly limit. its unreal how much they have burned their good reputation in a 2 month stretch, i am positive its also being astroturfed with bots more than happy to advance the narrative.
the internet is annoying, these tools are overall cool, just wish anthropic would go back to being semi predictable.

This is a very myopic and unnecessary cynical sentiment. It's not about you - agents just need to run without your computer being on all the time. Coding is a background task that needs to run unattended now.

This is absolutely not true. I run dozens of Opus agents all day and they need so much constant attention and babysitting (lest everything turn to sh*t) that I would not qualify it anywhere close to “background”. And I’m sure as hell not wrangling these things from my *phone*.
(Have them cover their own token costs, hehe).

What would it take to remove yourself from the loop so your agents can go parabolic and kick off the singularity? (Have them cover their own token costs, hehe).
friends, you don’t have to always be productive. leave the agent on the computer and take care of yourself.
For many people, that's exactly why this is useful: less time on the computer, more time doing other things and occasionally checking in. In those scenarios, the goal is not "work at any time" but to "be anywhere at any time", or, rather, to "be able to work from anywhere, doing anything". Sort of....I guess.
I’m not a swe but damn, I’d hate to be one.
