If you're in IT or software development in some way, I guarantee you'll learn a thing or two with our 100s of in-depth tech tutorials on https://t.co/vWil2KAj8p.

Anthropic should sell a Claude plushie, but not as merch.

As a debugging accessory.

When Claude says “you’re absolutely right” and then commits the same war crime against my codebase, I need something with a neck.

I have three accounts across Codex and Claude Code. Fable 5 is killing me so I’ve decided a new approach at getting my AI fix.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

@imog Interesting. I’m currently trying it again. I’m just letting it eat my five hour windows in 30 min increments and it keeps picking back up a large task.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

What's the record for blowing through a Claude Code max subscription's 5-hr window. I did it in 19 minutes with Fable 5 1M Ultracode. Where's my trophy??

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

@rickdida I have. I have it connected to OpenAI through Codex and Copilot right now. No Claude because I can't use my Claude Code Oauth token and I'm not about to pay API rates!

@MParakhin I’d love to do that but afraid to unleash the token monster.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

Spent weeks building a local AI agent to route requests across email, Slack, Codex, and Claude Code.

Finally gave up, installed Hermes Agent, added some custom routing, and it just worked.

Sometimes the smartest engineering decision is to stop engineering.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

Codex and Claude Code both have /goal now.

But /goal only works well when success is deterministic.

One useful pattern: create a subagent that evaluates the result and returns a score.

Then your goal becomes simple:

“Keep going until the evaluator returns 8/10 or higher.”

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

Mark my words. One day we won’t have software documentation. Instead, vendors will all provide agent skills so your agents can get up to speed fast.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

Judging an employee's productivity on the number of tokens they consume from AI models is exactly the same as judging their productivity on lines of code written.

@GeoffKrombach For quick discovery of varied implementation choices. Due to it's lack of intelligence, it will try before thinking too much.. It's better at trial and error.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

Quick #Codex harness hack: Set a /goal for GPT5.5-low for some big feature. It may not finish because it's on low thinking but it will iterate through LOTS of ideas fast. After awhile, stop it, change thinking to Extra High and summarize the convo. You'll get tons of insight.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

I run my life with AI agents, which meant building tools to let them interact with the world. I’ve standardized them by sharing auth, caching, browser automation and more features. Excited to finally make this repo public for everyone! 👇https://t.co/0d8bWj3rL2 #Codex #ClaudeCode

The irony in this image is unmistakable.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

@rcolidba Fair enough. Guardrails are important for some but I YOLO and haven't had a problem....yet. :)

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

I honestly can think of zero reasons why AI agents need anything but skills, cli tools and a model. Everything else seems redundant to me. Change my mind.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

@DonJuliowwbs I'd rather have a CLI tool. No context bloat but MCPs do cut down on discoverability time when the model needs to use a tool.

[Adam Bertram @adbertram]

@Styo28183449 I don't see the tie between an agent and a development methodology.
