Codex plugin (VSCode) allows consuming your "web" (ie non-api) subscription for coding/agentic tasks.

My main issue with Gemini is that business accounts can't delete individual conversations. You can only enable or disable Gemini, or set a retention period (3 months minimum), but there's no way to delete specific chats. I'm a paying customer, prices keep going up, and yet this very basic feature is still missing.

The annoying bit is that the `zed` command already exists in Linux (ZFS Events Daemon) so you need to go through some extra motions to start Zed (the editor).

My preferred approach in similar situations is to ask an LLM for an initial solution or code snippet, then take over manually - no endless prompt tweaking, just stop prompting and start coding. Finally (optionally), I let the LLM do a final pass to review my completed solution for bugs, optimizations, etc.

The key win is skipping the prompt refinement loop, which is (A) tedious and time-consuming, and (B) debilitating in the long run.

I've noticed another issue: 2FA software fragmentation. Over the past 30 years, I've accumulated more than 600 online accounts (many of them dormant), with about 25-30% offering 2FA. As a result, I now have three separate apps for generating codes. I could consolidate them into one, but, frankly, I'm too lazy. So instead, I often find myself scrambling between different 2FA apps and devices just to locate the right account.

I follow over 200 blogs, but this one has remained my favorite for years: https://ciechanow.ski/archives/.

New posts are rare - just once or twice a year - but every single article is a gem.
