Why are you showing me "Approaching weekly usage limit" when I'm 49%?????? Can I set the threshhold to 80%? You're damn annoying, Claude.
I would've res-subbed to Codex if GPT 5.6 was released, but it wasn't, so I resubbed to Claude instead, just for 4 days of access to Fable 5.
My first 0-100 in a single prompt. Fable 5 on High effort Also used $10.36 of overage credits in <15m before finishing. It was worth it!
I'm not sure if I'm getting smarter or lazier...
I started organizing my SSH keys into named folders for each service I use them for, and I wish I had thought of this years ago. ~/.ssh/github/keys... ~/.ssh/aws/keys... ~/.ssh/other-github-account/keys...
My website is my website. Like, just for me... It's no longer a portfolio site to help me get a job. It's finally a globally available resource that helps me document things I use daily, and create and host tools that make my life better. It's finally MY website! It just makes me happy!
I've been without Codex for 2 days, and I miss it more than I missed Claude. 10 more days until I can re-engage codex.
If I fill out your form and press Enter on my keyboard, and nothing happens, and I have to use my mouse to click the submit button... oof, I'm annoyed with you.
I can count on one hand the number of times React's useEffect has come back to bite me. Like... learn the rules. It's not that hard to include a dependency array and think with your brain for 2 seconds about what goes in the array.
The coolest thing I've ever done with code is create and implement my own byte-protocol! Basically, a contract between a sender and receiver that is along the lines of "the first 3 bytes mean this, the next 2 bytes mean that, the next N bytes mean something else" and so on... Simple, but cool!
Every mouse I've ever used is good for ~2 years, and then it starts double clicking, and I can only put up with that for like 4 days before I cave and buy a new mouse. 🐭
Every time I focus the Codex app, my PC lags for like ~2 seconds... ugh
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern is great! It's really, really good!! The one problem with MVC, is that is assumes the UI renderer is shit, so it tries to make everything static and simple. But.. UI rendering modernization has been one of the greatest tech advancements in the past 25 years.
Over the weekend I discovered how easy it is to write an AI "skill" to automate little things I used to do myself. In three days, I made at least 6 skills custom to my workflow.
#openai In Codex desktop app, when I'm at my usage limit, I want to queue messages that will wait until my 5-hour limit rests and then go... Instead, I write them in a notepad and set an alarm, and then come back and copy/paste... ugh!
@anthropic.com In Claude desktop app, when I'm at my usage limit, I want to queue messages that will wait until my 5-hour limit rests and then go... Instead, I write them in a notepad and set an alarm, and then come back and copy/paste... ugh!
The 1mil token context window of Opus 4.8 helps me to feel comfortable iterating on a long-running task in the same thread. GPT 5.5. 258k context window feels small compared to Opus.
Codex not only offers more resets (than Claude), but they also let you choose when to use them, AND they stack!! I really like that!
When searching for a string of text in a codebase, I don't copy paste the entire string, I select only a subset in the middle. Like, start in the middle of the 3rd word and select until the middle of the 6th word. 60% of the time, it works every time.
I logged into StackOverflow today purely for sentimental reasons... Here's my oldest post! 😭
Does anyone else have to specifically instruct AI to wrap code blocks with markdown content inside in 4 backticks, just so formatting doesn't break when there's code blocks inside the markdown. "... Finally, output the report in markdown format in a code block wrapped in 4 backticks." 😭
"port nnnn is already taken. Would you like to launch on port nnnn+1?" FUCKING YES! Of course yes, just please, do it, omg....
The important thing about a human using AI is that human's knowledge, experience, and ability to imagine possible future realities. AI is not AI, it's LLM, or, uh.. math. Just math... It can't perceive. It can't reason about a plan as it unfolds forward through time. It can just do "a thing."
If I'm using Claude or Codex, and I hit my weekly limit, I'm just getting the 20/mo sub from the other guy to get through the week. I'm not upping my sub by $80 just to get from Sunday to Wednesday.
What are some good @tailwindcss.com classes? I'll start: scroll-mt-[n]
@convex.dev I got a self-hosted convex up and running locally in 15m (with the help of GTP5.5, but I know Docker well, so that helps). I will be purchasing merch T-shirt to support you guys. Your tech is insanely good.
