Hello builders. What are we getting wrong with Codex, what can we improve?

@hwallop There was an advertising legend that Saatchis would offer visiting potential clients a car back to their offices after a pitch, bug the car, and re-pitch accordingly.

Job interviews. Paying the taxi-driver to "spy" on candidate as @duolingo does. Is this: a) a clever way of revealing a candidate's true character? b) sneaky & only proves if they're polite to taxi drivers? Tell me your thoughts. And other tricks to find bad/great job candidates?

@code_rams Would love this but rn only supported on Linux and Darwin (what's Darwin?)

Running multiple projects locally is painful. localhost:3000, localhost:3001, localhost:8080... which one is which? One port conflict and your whole setup breaks. Portless by Vercel Labs fixes this cleanly. Instead of port numbers, you get stable named URLs: http://myapp.localhost:1355 http://api.myapp.localhost:1355 http://docs.myapp.localhost:1355 What it solves: • Port conflicts across projects • Cookie and storage bleeding between apps on different ports • "Wait, which tab is which?" confusion in monorepos • Git worktrees: each branch gets its own subdomain automatically Works with Next.js, Vite, Express, Nuxt, React Router, Angular, Expo. There's also an AI angle. Coding agents were hardcoding ports and getting them wrong. Named URLs mean your agent always knows exactly where to go. 3.8k stars. v0.5.2. Actively maintained by Vercel Labs. npm install -g portless portless run next dev That's it. github.com/vercel-labs/po…

@GregKamradt I don't know why I was surprised but it turns out Claude writes immaculate M as well, I probably won't be using PowerQuery much longer but it's great at it.

Using Opus 4.6 in Claude Code for data analysis is actually quite insane. As a former excel monkey, I'm doing things that would have taken 2x weeks full time in a prompt. It's doing better than I would have done! The dreaded exec line, "this looks great, but can you show me it again with this small edit?" won't be scary anymore. Now you have more tools to provide critical business insights to your shareholders

@petergyang Puzzled by the replies. I run both Claude Code and Codex within Cursor, they're installed with npm. I don't pay for Cursor, or use its own chat function. I find Cursor a more user-friendly interface than VS Code but that may be just because I'm used to it.

What's the best way to install Claude Code in Cursor? There's this Cursor extension in Anthropic's docs but then the rest of the article is for VS Code (code.claude.com/docs/en/vs-code) I want to try running it not from the terminal.

@steipete Its ability to understand metaphor makes it faster - and more fun - to interact with. Asking it whether a refactor is "worth the grief" is just an easier sentence to write than something formal.

Love codex, it understands from context that no choice is great so it added (pick poison). 😅

@iannuttall Yesterday I had both 5.1-codex-max and Claude Sonnet completely stuck on a particularly tricky bug, switched to 5.2-xtra-high, fixed it in one go.

best coding model TLDR; - daily driver: opus 4.5 - plan, audit, fix bugs: gpt 5.2 high - hardest problems: gpt 5.2 pro via repo prompt

@joshbythesea Denied. Byron was great (in a Pizza Express way) when it opened.

This is the third time Byron burger has been bought out of administration. The burgers were only ever mid. It's been a board room-run restaurant since forever. The sort that worked when people had more money to spend. No longer.

@steipete I gave the job to Claude, showed the result to 5.1-Codex, got them to argue over it, this was the result. Thank god for my free month of @claudeai Max.

Plenty people complained that there’s no Windows version of Trimmy. Matt made one. highagency.com

@shreyas1009 @steipete I had a crack at it github.com/mattpaice/wint… - tweaked a bit for my use case of copying from Cursor to Powershell

@steipete That could work too

Made a native macOS app that is 57KB. Added the app icon. 2.1MB now. Anyhow - Meet Trimmy✂️! Watches the clipboard, removes these newlines & spaces for when you copy stuff out of TUIs, you can actually paste commands into the terminal. github.com/steipete/Trimmy

@_overment It's interesting that using it in the agent/chat mode gives you those chirpy Claude-like comments ("Found the solution! Yay!") whereas I never get that in the CLI, it's borderline miserable which suits me just fine.

wow! GPT-5-Codex in Cursor just gave me the best reasoning I have ever seen in an LLM. the fact that it was able to recover and continue reasoning multiple times is mindblowing. I’ve seen many models say “but wait” repeatedly and still struggle to find the actual cause. but this one nailed it, and it wasn’t trivial.

@mattlam_ @iannuttall Oh OK. Up til now it's said it can't / won't run git push inside the Codex window, now it does, that's all.

@Matt_Paice @iannuttall for codex it'll just interpret it like a prompt, spend time thinking on it, then run something. Very different from the cc feature

CLI coding pro tip: most tools (factory cli, claude code, cursor cli) have a bash/shell mode to run commands without opening a new terminal just use ! to activate it. I'm supposed to be a "power user" and discovered this only a few days ago 😭

@mattlam_ @iannuttall It does, it just doesn't light up like CC does. Handy tip!

@iannuttall Great to know for Claude code, but don’t think it applies for codex cli

@embirico If you go any further I think it will start insulting my prompts

User feedback: > I'm still very impressed by Codex. It's so terse and it never compliments me on anything. It's f—-ing delightful. It feels like an actual professional tool rather than a thing that for kindergartners. Should we reduce compliments even more? (half joking)

@levelsio Thanks for this! I'm using Claude Code inside Cursor in a WSL environment on my laptop, if I SSH into my Hetzner server instead, will I notice any speed difference? I get endless hassle from WSL not liking localhost.

I just SSH into @Hetzner_Online $5/mo VPS, you have to try it Make a VPS there or on @digitalocean SSH into it, I use @TermiusHQ Then install npm: apt install npm Then install Claude npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code Then type claude to start it Treat it like a fun hobby server, no important stuff Then ask Claude to secure your server, I have unattended-upgrades (auto upgrade), fail2ban, etc. Ask it to make anything and it will just pick a stack like Python or Node and build stuff for you I wanna try let it write Go and Rust on the server soon cause they are the fastest languages I call it VibeOps!!!

@BlindTasters Best value wine on my list but it's certainly a hand-sell

Humble 'Vin de France' from Roc des Anges in the Roussillon, but made in the Jura style under (an initially accidental) layer of flor yeast. Praised by Stéphane Tissot, and rightly so. Energetic and vibrant with a note of miso or dashi that paired excellently with sushi.
