I'm weird, i even have disappearing messages for my coffee chats. It's kind of refreshing not having any history.

Can you really register iMessage on an emulated MacOS these days? I'd love to learn more, the AIs I asked say it doesn't seem possible in VMs anymore.

It’s been amazing for me for Go and TypeScript; and pretty decent at Swift.

There is a steep learning curve. It requires good soft eng practices; have a clear plan and be sure have good docs and examples. Don’t give it an empty directory; have a scaffolding it can latch onto.

there is are skills / subagents for that

something like code-simplifier is surprisingly useful (as is /review)

Agreed and skills are a huge unlock.

codex cli even has a skill to create skills; it's super easy to get up to speed with them

For coding I don’t use any of the previous gen models anymore.

Ideally I would have both fast and SOTA; if I would have to pick one I’d go with SOTA.

There a report by OpenRouter on what folks tend to pay for it; it generally is SOTA in the coding domain. Folks are still paying a premium for them today.

There is a question if there is a bar where coding models are “good enough”; for myself I always want smarter / SOTA.

New comment by aschobel in "Claude Code gets native LSP support"

aschobel — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 22:44:50 +0000

I’m basically only using the Codex CLI now. I switched around the GPT-5 timeframe because it was reliably solving some gnarly OpenTelemetry problems that Claude Code kept getting stuck on.

They feel like different coworker archetypes. Codex often does better end-to-end (plan + code in one pass). Claude Code can be less consistent on the planning step, but once you give it a solid plan it’s stellar at implementation.

I probably do better with Codex mostly due to familiarity; I’ve learned how it “thinks” and how to prompt it effectively. Opus 4.5 felt awkward for me for the same reason: I’m used to the GPT-5.x / Codex interaction style. Co-workers are the inverse, they adore Opus 4.5 and feel Codex is weird.

I had a similar experience but overall the idea is super charming. I do like the personalized HN for 2035. Thank you for building it!

Didn't Matic solve this (non-Lidar robot vacuum)? People seem to rave about them.

Having white socks stay white has been a breath of fresh air. Love my roller mop robot.

The roller mop vacuum are getting incredibly good; that is in the last year also.

Just got a Mova z60, it's shocking how much progress has been made even in the last 5 years compared to my old lidar Roborock. The z60 can even hurdle over small barriers.

That's a totally reasonable practice, I would say x.2 releases are mostly fine and have the rough edges polishes.

It is super confusing. I also thought this initially was open weights.
