Out of curiosity how are benchmark runs generally funded? It would obviously be great to test them all on all reasoning levels and in and out of their native harnesses. Maybe even in pi / opencode / cursor but I get this would get prohibitively expensive unless you have funding or free tokens.

Thanks for your efforts thus far. Looking forward to seeing more.

Well done and thank you.

If I was to ask for more there are a few things that Claude and Codex are doing better on. Way more integrations / skills. I wish I could use MCPs and skills here. Modern design and feel too. This design, while native, feels very outdated

First impressions of the native app: I think I will save RAM and it will be faster - Cool. Download, install, sign in - Easy. Change the keyboard shortcuts - Simple. cmd + N to open a new chat - better than cmd + shift + O in the web app.

Back to work, a few moments pass.

super + C - ... wait ... there is a noticable delay in opening the app?

Maybe try the new mini chat? - Same delay 800+ms?

Thats annoying, every other app on my mac switches instantly?

Why is this slow? The delay long enough that you break my flow and make me think spending the RAM is worth it for the old web version? Whats the point of native if its slow?

Second grip - the text layout is too wide to read comfortably. At least give me the option to put it in a more narrow layout. I use every app full screen so reading text across the full width of my screen is pretty awkward.

Anyway I'll give it a go and see if it grows on me but right now the web app feels more polished and responsive so I will likely switch back.

Edit: typos

Agree on colours. The Electronics topic was white on yellow, completely unreadable.

I’ve also heard it said that this area was popular popular with artists and the rebellious types back in the day vs the more posh types in Clifton on top of the hill. There are some photos of the harbour from back when it was a working harbour, before the houses were painted, and it looks far less appealing (https://www.instagram.com/p/CyMNzAXIOY-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFl...). If you do end up on Instagram search for Bristol harbour to see what it’s like now.

I’m a pretty generalist fullstack engineer.

The things that worry me about this space are security best practices, providing features like corporate single sign on and handling data that customer expect to be healed very securely.

Its probably clear I don’t know much about this space and am likely missing even more things. Any advice or heads up would be really appreciated. Advice on business models and go to market strategies would also be really nice.

9 months ago I started a new job. It was a relatively senior role for me. Straight away my manager kicked my ass if I didn’t get stuff done. It was fully expected that I was a productive and competent member of the team. The prospect of loosing my job was very real. There is also no working from home so there is nowhere to hide. I quickly started focusing and putting in extra effort. For a while I had to put in extra time outside work to get up to standard but now I just work productively and go home.

When I work on my side projects I make far more progress far more quickly. I feel far better about work and life in general as I don’t feel like I’m wasting my time.

My advice is to put yourself in a situation that will demand a lot from you. Make sure you can’t make excuses and that you have someone/thing to hold you legitimately accountable to a high standard. It may be hard but in the long term it’ll help you reach your potential.

Hope this helps. Nice tool and I can see myself using this if these issues are sorted.
