@brentbrookler I had a feeling this would happen too, great news!!

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

@brentbrookler This is going to be a great game!

I always loved how Seattle came out for the Sounders! I would expect nothing less than this for the biggest world cup game yet!

We talk about AI as if it were a living person — just like we talk about a GUI as having files, folders, and a desktop. The analogy is simply the best way for us to communicate about generative AI.

@samkohl I could use a second one!! How much do you want for it?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

@brentbrookler Strangely few tokens, I don’t understand I’m running 4.8 Ultracode Fast all day, and I can’t use all my tokens for the week.

Claude Code takes over my Mac to build and test iOS and macOS apps. It's extremely powerful.

However, it can spend an hour taking full control of my Mac to complete a single task. So now I'm using three Macs, two for Claude and one for me.

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

Today I asked Claude Code to use Codex to review a feature it had built. Claude regularly drives my Mac to complete tasks, but claude driving codex is something new.

People will judge your AI based on how well it designs, just like people will judge your product based on how well it is designed. @sama please fix UI design in ChatGPT!

@brentbrookler It seems my weekly usage was restored when fable was removed….?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

Why am I getting this on a Saturday!? Come on Claude, just because I'm trying to build three different apps at the same time, you don't need to rate limit me like this, on a weekend :/

Today we're planting the flag: the presentation belongs in 9:16. Portrait. Mobile-first. Built for the screen that's actually in your hand.

Does anyone else commit their ~/.claude/ to github then check it out on another computer to give those agents better context?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

@adcock_brett @grok , is this real?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

Does it feel to anyone else like Claude Code offers about 5x as much Opus 4.7 as Cursor for $200/month ?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

How many more years do we have before an LLM can decompile every app on your computer? 5? 7?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

The problem is I like to micromanage so I've asked for a one-on-one with the agent actually doing the work. We'll see what happens....

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

Recently when working with Opus 4.7, I've noticed I'm not actually talking to the agent doing the work anymore--I'm talking to his boss. The usual response from Claude is "No problem, I'll set up an agent to do that."

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

If you want beautiful design, you MUST use Claude Opus. Has anyone else noticed that ChatGPT Codex 5.5 is still simply incapable of good design?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

@Slappy_White2 @Jason What?

[Andrew Paul Simmons @AndrewPSimmons]

@brentbrookler @kylegawley Damn, I was loving the default template… i guess it’s time to move on
