Peer pressure
Iโm wondering when Entire (entire.io) will support Codex, because lately Iโve been writing code all the time with this, not Claude Code.
A great essay on โA Language for Agentsโ convinced me of this: code must carry its meaning locally, without depending on LSPs or hidden context. Thatโs why Iโm reaching for Go again, not TypeScript. lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/2/9/a-l...
Interacting via the Codex app feels just like discussing with them on Slack or GitHub pull requests, except the conversation flows a few times faster.
GPT-5.3-Codex with high reasoning effort is apparently reaching mid-level software engineer performance. Interacting with the model reminds me of collaborating with ex-coworkers at that level.
Hard to believe this is a live performance โฆ youtu.be/_nBYUmH4z5Q

This article was helpful for me, especially the โMy Configโ section, which encouraged me to re-evaluate Codex and made the difference from Claude very clear. steipete.me/posts/2025/s...

It was hard for me to expect that populism in Japan would kill its bond market, resulting in the end of the yen-US dollar carry trade.
So lazy that it took 1 month to return the genome sample to the lab while becoming familiar with the UK posting system.
I was successfully able to finish my first property viewing in the UK. Honestly I had been nervous since this morning, it turned out the pretty same as the one I have experienced in Japan before.

Happy to connect with software engineers based in the UK, especially those working in retail or consumer products.
NEWS: The UK is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...
