@mattpocockuk I hit this very issue today. Stupidly let my agent fix a tonne of things it had pulled from its memory as issues at the time, but they're either not issues now, or don't have the context of why the code was written as it was in the first place.

@steipete @buildwithhassan Hah, not mine!

[Mike Evans @mike20]

Codex, noooooo, not you as well!!

@jonathan_wilke HeroUI (https://t.co/CJhSPnIZ2K) - Loving it!

Last week this session took 9 minutes and 150k tokens on Opus 4.6.

Complex app navigation, network debugging, perf profiling on a production app. Justified, right?

Not really. Same session today: 69k tokens. 6 minutes. Less than half.

Here's how 🧵

[Mike Evans @mike20]

@rohanvarma Oh yes! Running and fixing Maestro tests. They're already so slow to run that I just let Codex get to work on them overnight

"Still doesn't work, fix it, make no mistakes"
Most Agents take ridiculously long to tap or scroll. And you have to tell them to do it first.

That’s why we’re building Argent:

@tannerlinsley I'm giving Cmux a whirl. Built on top of ghostty, can be a memory hog at times (particularly when running Android emulators via metro for some reason), but I'm liking the separate workspaces, panels and tabs

[Mike Evans @mike20]

@reach_vb Codex for mobile devs. Need that loop closing between code and app, and emulators are soooo slow and flaky!

Well this looks interesting! Registered for the London event, and crossing fingers I get a ticket 🤞🏻

[Claude @claudeai]

Our developer conference Code with Claude returns this spring, this time in San Francisco, London, and Tokyo.

Join us for a full day of workshops, demos, and 1:1 office hours with teams behind Claude.

@thsottiaux @PaulSolt Get Codex to consistently read skills without being told to in the prompt. I've explicitly stated in AGENTS.md to check all skills first, and to check a specific skill for a specific prompt. It still ignores them half the time.

[Mike Evans @mike20]

@willwashburn Perfect!

We used to send people to https://t.co/I6WT652eNZ when they asked a dumb question they could have easily googled.

What do we have for the “I asked chatGPT but didn’t read the response & am now sending it to you as my own thought forcing you to extract the signal from the slop”?

"reddit comments are just human hallucinations with upvotes."

Quote of the year (so far!) 😆

[weykon @WeykonK]

@theo the real problem isn't that they confused React with create-react-app.

it's that they formed a strong opinion about something they didn't even bother to understand first.

reddit comments are just human hallucinations with upvotes.

😂

[Mike Evans @mike20]

@thsottiaux I'm not the first to say it, but hooks please

[Mike Evans @mike20]

@alexstyl It looks really good. Gives me more reassurance in the app itself than if it were just a GitHub repo. Will try it later today, the app looks just what I need

[Mike Evans @mike20]

@FilipKaminski Finally the answer to my prayers! I'm pretty sure my agent can actually build my entire app more quickly than it can navigate 3 screens into it

[Mike Evans @mike20]

Callstack are really cooking right now

[Szymon Chmal @ChmalSzymon]

Preview release of React Native Grab is now available!
Make your agents stop guessing. Navigate through your app, capture the right context, and let them handle the heavy lifting 💪

[Mike Evans @mike20]

@willwashburn Hmmm, finger slinger? 🤔
