@amcclosky @rafalwilinski oh wow, it helped. thanks a lot :)

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

I used to be a pretty heavy claude code user. Recently (after @rafalwilinski told me to) I switched to Codex.

What’s the solution for: 1) lack of official mobile app 2) lack of chrome connector?

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

@rafalwilinski thanks for being my tech support. I’m new to computers.

should it be here?

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

@rafalwilinski never heard of. mobile app is one thing, another is if i can spin up cloud workers that will just code, you know, in the cloud

@tlakomy no one talks about clawdbot because it’s called openclaw now, duh

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

@southpolesteve Hah good question! Sometimes it's just quicker to understand the logic (or check some value) by reading the file yourself than asking the robot. Maybe I haven't fully gone over to the dark side yet.

I switched from Cursor to Claude Code desktop a couple of weeks ago (mostly because my quota kept running out so quickly) and the only thing I'm missing is a basic file explorer. You know, where you hit CMD+P, search for a file, and see its contents.

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

yeah, I experienced that yesterday too but isn't it the case that they fallback to a dumber model during high demand?

[Alim @almmaasoglu]

Every opus release follows the same script: week one & two it's a god tier model that one shots complex tasks, remembers every detail, stays in scope. By week threeish or a month later it feels like a completely different model.

I love Opus, genuinely my favorite model line. But every time Anthropic does something post launch that alters quality. And no, it's not quantization like some people theorize but SOMETHING is clearly changing.

We desperately need tools to measure model quality over time, the degradation is real. Inference changes, service, system prompt updates, whatever it is it's not placebo.

@tlakomy reviewer?

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

@itsoctoper @tweetsbycolin @clerk Oh cool. That’s what I was looking for.

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

@rafalwilinski Don’t ruin the party 😌

[rita kozlov 🐀 @ritakozlov]

what advice you wish you could give your early career self?

i'll go first: your manager is not so busy they don't want to be bothered

at all times, your manager wants you to ping them more, ask them more questions, know what's up, unblock you and not wait until 1:1 to do so

LLMs have convincingly demonstrated that coding is the easiest activity, maths is medium hard, and having taste is the hardest

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

@tlakomy @rafalwilinski 30??? Fucking insane

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

Happy Birthday, @rafalwilinski 🎊🎂🥳

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

@tlakomy Fake news. It’s Wałbrzych.

[Maciej Winnicki @mthenw]

Great talk for sure, but how are all those analogies actually useful? LLM=OS, cool, but what’s the practical takeaway?
