People don't like bicycling in the same way a lot of people don't like football. It's just a sport preference.

A lot of people think it is better including me. It's not like Codex is a discount agent. You pay quite a lot to use it.

The cultural beliefs are definitely different.

A lot of people don’t like bikes. I am down for salty licorice though.

What reason would Steinberger have for doing that? It was his hobby project.

Developers repeat the same mistakes all the time. Otherwise off by one wouldn’t be a thing.

> But of course writing code directly will always maintain the benefit of specificity. If you want to write instructions to a computer that are completely unambiguous, code will always be more useful than English.

Unless the defect rate for humans is greater than LLMs at some point. A lot of claims are being made about hallucinations that seem to ignore that all software is extremely buggy. I can't use my phone without encountering a few bugs every day.

> The supervisor agent can create and enforce the contracts between the various sub-systems.

Or you can ask the agent to do this after each round. Or before a deploy. They are great at performing analysis.

There are always bugs in software. The question is do you have enough eyes on the data to spot them or do they linger for years.

Secure installation isn't the main problem with OpenClaw. This project doesn't seem to be solving a real problem. Of course the real problem is giving an LLM access to everything and hoping for the best.

Are we allowed to vibe code some positive changes and submit them for review?

Copy the model of ASML. Build something really complicated that no one else can easily copy.

He's a CEO in the oil industry. He probably finds all of the video game enthusiasts annoying and a threat to his personal brand.

So no one has discovered the motivation of this person? They must have spent a lot of money to engage in this behavior.

OpenAI doubled Codex limits until April. If there is an issue with their platform they reset the limits early. This happened many times in December. They also added the 5.3 Spark model that has its own limit!

The author doesn't even mention Codex even though it likely will out compete Claude Code.

I am imagining working for a company in the future where prompt reviews are required because the company is cheap.

Smaller phones aren't great for older people because of the increased font size that they use. They can barely fit a sentence onto the screen.

I've commented on this before. Sign of the times. People like anything related to GPUs. In my personal coding projects I've even been tempted to ask the agent: "What features can I add that use the GPU?"

There's also a reward for not over thinking it and letting AI bring the solutions to you. The outcomes are better when it's a question, answer, and execution session.
