@levelsio Stripe should be doing this with their router or some service that can attribute the chain agent > model > pr > outcome

prompter XL? I find that’s pretty good. There is also a step up to prompter people if you want to take it up a level. It’ll depend on the fidelity of the text you need to read on the monitor.

Alternatively I mount a color USB-C monitor under the existing prompter. Also have a foot pedal under desk to advance or make changes in OBS.

AI coding tools are starting to feel like slot machines.

If you find your self saying "ohh that's almost right, let me try one more prompt again" loop, in this video i talk about how i'm trying to avoid casino mode and what i do instead.

Codex Orchestration w/Symphony is timemaxxing for builders.

It turns project work into isolated coding runs with agents that handle CI proof, PR reviews, complexity checks, walkthroughs, validation and safe-healing merges.

This might sound hyperbolic... but it could make folks way more productive. It removes a bunch friction with “agent made a PR slop”, "wtf happened in this Github Actions", “how to avoid doing human reviews on 100+ PRs a day" and more.

In this video, i dig into my experience using it with where it helped and how to avoid hitting a rate limit on on 1000 merge conflicts in less than 24 hours.

The new /goal feature lets Codex create, pause, resume, and clear long-running objectives across sessions, with runtime continuation behind it. We dig into see how useful it is. https://t.co/mqj67bXvfA

Agent management gets way better once you stop treating everything like one giant thread. I’ve been using “swimlanes” separate vertical lanes and it makes management way less chaotic. https://t.co/KkTY10OS5M

Most AI coding demos are “look, it made an app.”

This one is different.

It’s:
- here’s the metric
- here’s the sandbox
- here’s the experiment budget
- improve it
- if you fail, reset
- if you win, commit
- never stop https://t.co/gWsNNHrBoN

@mattpocockuk @aiDotEngineer hey @mattpocockuk i've been getting a lot of mileage out of grill-me and using github as this broken for my factory. i still tend to find it gets to 80%, but the last 20% seems to put me back at the slot machine. any suggestions?

It’s very unclear to me what the upper bound on daily token use per person is going to. Orders of magnitude beyond this for sure.

Building a personal agent with a fully local setup w/Hermes Agent + Gemma 4.

Is Gemma 4 any good? How does Hermes compare to OpenClaw? How painful is self-hosting?

Only one way to find out. https://t.co/CrJalbKB6i

@petergyang yeah agreed.

@poe_platform is building the opposite:
all models, one layer, use anywhere.

@zarazhangrui 100% i ended up building my own browser/editor/terminal/adhd timer to try and help with this. It’s not perfect but so much better than generic tools.

Codex plugins are pretty great. Bundling skills, workflows, and context into something portable across projects is powerful. Are they any good? https://t.co/LsE2VrJPYD

[Gareth Paul Jones 💙 @gpj]

The biggest bottleneck in AI coding might not be intelligence, it might be structural: one agent trying to do research, implementation, review, and cleanup inside a single polluted thread. If you use Claude Code this may be the case to make the switch. https://t.co/b7uDs7UrfR
