axldelafosse··on Show HN: Diffing Binary Files
Wow that's really cool! Nice work
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
The feedback loop is faster. But PR reviews are still useful as they are multiplayer (meaning that you and another human reviewer can talk about a specific agent's comment directly on the diff, which is very useful sometimes).
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
They don't. And you would be surprised how a good model actually pushes back on some comments.

The point was: when they do agree, it is a very strong signal.

axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
Yes, but what’s cool about loop is that it runs the interactive TUIs and establishes a direct connection between them. You can steer and answer questions in both sessions, not just from the main worker.
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
Cool! Thank you.
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
I’m glad someone is finally bringing this up, thank you!

What are you suggesting instead? To share the prompt in order to capture the intent? Usually I expect the plan to reflect the prompt.

I find it interesting when I create a PR after a quick session: the description really captures the intent instead of focusing on the actual implementation. I think it’s because the context is still intact, and that’s very useful.

axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
Yeah maybe! Right now I find it useful to use different agent harnesses but as the models get better (and the agent harnesses simpler), it might be possible to get the same result with the same model. Would be cool to experiment with open-source models
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
Yes exactly. I’m talking about this in the article. I found out that when Claude and Codex both review the same PR and both find the same issue, our team fixes it 100% of the time.

Interesting! Feels like a good way to write docs/memories. What I like about loop is that it runs the interactive TUIs so you can answer questions in both sessions (not just the main worker). It is not human multiplayer though (but that would be cool).

I like this idea, I’ll experiment with it as part of a brainstorming skill to make the agents ask clarifying questions (to each other and to the human in the loop).

axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
Yes, the goal is the same. This plugin is similar to the Codex gstack skill.

What makes loop different is that it lets Claude and Codex talk to each other directly (receiving messages from Claude via the Codex App Server and from Codex via Claude Code Channels). I believe this approach works even better than having one agent spawn the other and wait for its output, or read/write to a shared file.

axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
It doesn’t mean that they are always out of scope, rather than the reviewer can be nitpicking (like humans do) and instead of addressing the comment in a follow-up PR, the change gets addressed in the same PR. So not necessarily out of scope, but it can add up and make it harder for a human to review.

That’s why I’m wondering if we should instruct the agents to act more like humans would: if the change can be done in a follow-up PR, this is probably what an experienced engineer would do.

I created the first version of loop after getting tired of doing this manually!
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-Agent Pair Programming
Good reminder: don't forget the plan review!
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-Agent Pair Programming
Oh, that's cool!
axldelafosse··on Agent-to-agent pair programming
I agree! Right now it is leveraging the Codex App Server, which is open-source and very well implemented, but using Claude Code Channels is probably a bit hacky.

The good thing is that it establishes a direct connection so it's already much better than having one agent spawn the other and wait for its output, or read/write to a shared .md file -- but it would be cool to make it work for all agent harnesses.

Open to ideas! The repo is open-source.

axldelafosse··on Show HN: I spent days curating concert films in Spatial Audio (Dolby Atmos/5.1)
Happy to help!

I have a small home studio. But I'm also really impressed by my AirPods with personalized Spatial Audio and head tracking enabled -- so I'm using them when I'm on the move. The funny thing is that I own a pair of custom Ultimate Ears Reference Remastered but I find myself using the AirPods more often because it's just more convenient (even if the UE are obviously better).
