sagarpatil··on A Research Preview of Codex
Re:simulation Deebo does this for debugging: https://github.com/snagasuri/deebo-prototype
sagarpatil··on A Research Preview of Codex
https://www.augment.new/ has a similar feature (it uses sonnet 3.7) and I’m really impressed by it. Worth trying out.
sagarpatil··on The unreasonable effectiveness of an LLM agent loop with tool use
“Claude Code, better than Sourcegraph, better than Augment Code.”

That’s a pretty bold claim, how come you are not at the top of this list then? https://www.swebench.com/

“Use frontier models like o3, Gemini Pro 2.5, Sonnet 3.7” Is this unlimited usage? Or number of messages/tokens?

Why do you need a separate desktop app? Why not CLI or VS Code extension.

sagarpatil··on The unreasonable effectiveness of an LLM agent loop with tool use
All IDE’s support OpenAI compatible endpoint. So you can host whatever model you like locally and use it. Check out Roo Code.
sagarpatil··on The unreasonable effectiveness of an LLM agent loop with tool use
I tried OH yesterday. Sorry to say this but your UI/UX experience is horrible.

I don’t understand why do you need a separate UI instead of using local IDE (Cursor/Windsurf), vs code extension (augment) or CLI (Amazon Q developer). Please do not reinvent the wheel.

sagarpatil··on The unreasonable effectiveness of an LLM agent loop with tool use
Codex CLI with Gemini, yes. It’s not really good at agentic stuff (at least in codex), I’ve had some success with Roo Cline (IDE) but I naturally just end up using Claude Code/Augment Code.
sagarpatil··on The unreasonable effectiveness of an LLM agent loop with tool use
No one codes like this. Use Claude Code, Windsurf, Amazon Q CLI, Augment Code with Context7, and exa web search.

It should one-shot this. I’ve run complex workflows and the time I save is astonishing.

I only run agents locally in a sandbox, not in production.

Context7 MCP solves this. Use it with Cursor/Windsurf.
sagarpatil··on OpenAI reaches agreement to buy Windsurf for $3B
I’ve been a WindSurf customer since day one. It was my first true AI agentic experience.

[Dev mode] While working on Alembic migrations I broke one of my migration files. After an hour of manual debugging I handed the task to WindSurf. It methodically checked every config file, applied the migrations one by one, and narrowed the issue to a single file. It rewrote the migration, verified the fix, wrote tests, ensured everything passed, and opened a PR. I reviewed it and it worked flawlessly.

Regarding the acquisition I don’t understand why OAI would pay $3 B. The team is strong, they have lots of data, and the agentic flow is great, but all of that feels commoditized.

Claude Code launched two months ago and I prefer it to WindSurf, Cursor, and Aider. Augment Code also ranks above WindSurf for me.

If I were in Sam’s place I would have doubled or tripled down on Codex CLI. Just my 2 cents.

sagarpatil··on People are losing loved ones to AI-fueled spiritual fantasies
OpenAI o3 has a hallucination rate of 33%, the highest one compared to any other models. Good luck to people who use it for spiritual fantasies.

So is signal safe or not?
sagarpatil··on Claude Integrations
Should have just called it Remote MCP. Integrations sounds very vague.

First the ban on VPN and now Proton Mail. Facepalm.

Elon was very vocal about this, he asked subscribers to directly buy from the website. There’s a 30% discount.

Hey. It’s a personal interest. I don’t know how and when it started but now it’s become a habit.
sagarpatil··on Claude Code: Best practices for agentic coding
It doesn’t need to. Its optional.
sagarpatil··on Claude Code: Best practices for agentic coding
If I have to be so cautious while using a tool might as well write the code myself lol. I’ve used Claude Code extensively and it is one of the best AI IDE. It just gets things done. The only downside is the cost. I was averaging $35-$40/day. At this cost, I’d rather just use Cursor/Windsurf.
sagarpatil··on Gemini 2.5 Flash
Most of us weren’t using Gemini pro models (1.0, 1.5, 2.0) but the recent 2.5 pro is such a huge step up. It’s better than 3.7 sonnet for coding. Better than o1, o3-mini models and now o3 and o4-mini. It’s become my daily driver. It does everything I need with almost 100% accuracy, is cheap, fast, 1 million context window, uses google web search for grounding, can fetch YouTube video transcripts, can fetch website content, works in google workspace: Gmail, Docs, Sheets. Really hard to beat this combo. Oh and if you subscribe to their AI plan it comes with 2 TB drive storage.

I spend hours everyday researching AI products. Why am I only hearing about plandex now? Looks very promising, I’ll give it a try. Please up your marketing game, the product looks solid!

How does it compare to Claude Code
sagarpatil··on Are Plants Farming Us?
Thank you. This was eye opening.
sagarpatil··on Are Plants Farming Us?
“But fruits aren’t just for us. They’re a clever evolutionary strategy. By making themselves tasty and appealing, plants ensure that animals (including humans) will eat them and disperse their seeds.”

I thought fruits are nutritious because they are there to support the seed during its journey.

Feels like they are just winging it based on public response.
sagarpatil··on After 'coding error' triggers firings, top NIH scientists called back to work
Rightly said. The Trump administration’s focus seems to be more on saving/making money and less about the overall effects on the people who are getting affected by it.
