What I love about Codex more than Claude Code (desktop apps):
1. Well engineered, stable
2. Annotate multiple HTML elements with inline comments in-app browser, send a bunch of them at once
3. Remote coding from mobile
4. UI is more intuitive
5. Intuitive, makes me productive

I love that Codex (or now ChatGPT Codex 🙄) has this feature to annotate any text in the response and ask questions inline. Keep adding a bunch of annotated questions and send them all in one prompt. Wasy, intuitive and efficient.
Codex gets extra credits. Claude Code gets none.

Claude these days: 🙄
Me: "Keep the reset command separate and make it failure-proof."
Claude: "You're right on both counts. Let me reset (heh) and answer."
Didn't even bother to say pun intended. Bro is trying to be cool with "heh."

I am loving the side chat feature in Codex. You can...
1. Select any text in the main chat window and choose 'Ask to side chat'.
2. The side panel opens and shows the selected text. Ask your question here.
3. Select a (smaller) different model other than main chat.

Images created by the new image model announced by Microsoft today MAI-Image-2.5
Prompts:
1. “create an image of an iceberg in a beautiful ocean with stunning photorealistic way”
2. “add a bluewhale jumping from the water near the iceberg
3. "show the sun setting in the horizon"

I like to work in self-contained cycles. Make some changes, test, find issues, fix them, keep adding to the same thread. Each session is one complete unit. It's clean, it's organized, and is my joy tbh.
But coding agents just can't operate that way. They don't know how to wait.

My wish list for coding agents:
1. Keyboard-friendly navigation - home-row keys, more keyboard shortcuts
2. When I ask something, it should first answer the question. These days, all agents/models are eager to make edits, but most of the time, I want answers, not actions.

Re-read this post by @mitchellh - mitchellh.com/writing/my-ai-…. A measured nuanced take on AI - using AI for its benefits, while staying grounded in reality. I could relate to everything there.
I am curious how his workflow has evolved since. It would be great to see a follow-up.

I finally completed the migration of my personal website, annjose.com.
It started as a Hugo to Astro move, became a full redesign: 11 years of posts, images, comments, tags, search, OG images.
A real agentic coding project I enjoyed so much!

A nuance:
When you @ mention a custom agent, it runs inline in your current session. Same context and log.
If you want session isolation, use /agent-teams. It spawns agents with independent session and separate logs at ~/.claude/projects/.../subagents/💪

TIL: Create custom agents in Claude Code using /agents command to handle smaller tasks with specific tools, and can even run on smaller models🔥
Invoke in session:
- @agent <name> - guaranteed to run
- natural language - Claude decides
Or at launch
- claude --agent <name>

Really enjoyed the OpenClaw hackathon with @georgeck at SF!
We loved building something real, not prompt juggling. Well done @itsajchan👏
A good mix of people - more senior devs than usual.
Lot of companies in this space @ContextualAI @Redisinc @civickey

Result from two agent/model side-by-side:
Prompt: "write a tetris game in typescript with beautiful UI"
Left: Claude Code + Sonnet 4.5
Right: Open Code + GLM-5
Harness matters. Model matters.
What would it be with Claude Code + GLM-5?

We are live! Had a lot of fun building this with @georgeck - just in time for #Christmas and #NewYear2025
🚀 Just launched Hacker News Companion - a Chrome extension to supercharge your HN discussions!
✨ Features:
- AI-powered thread summaries (local/cloud)
- Vim-style keyboard navigation
- Quick author info & navigation Privacy-focused, open source, and ready to use.

Bug Hunter🐞- a simple custom GPT that hunts for bugs in your code - chat.openai.com/g/g-fa1XjkAT…. It spots bugs, explain why, fix them and suggest code improvements for you.
It took me just 5 min to build this using #OpenAI GPT Builder + plain text inside #ChatGPT! Truly magical! 🚀
