I've found it outstanding at isolated long running tasks (eg completed one of our tests in 3 hours and a 100% accuracy score versus 5.5 xhigh's 10 hours and 90% accuracy). For short tasks it seems very Claude'y (hard to express exactly what I mean by that) which I'm not a fan of meaning I'll stick with Codex for that use case and maybe Fable for those times I can for sure benefit from it.

Let's say you could follow and unfollow once a second and they knew it. Then you could replicate the dots and dashes by the length of time you toggled the status plus the gaps where you weren't toggling at all.

Eg in the first ten seconds 10 toggles, in the next 10 seconds a 5 second gap then 5 toggles. That would be dash, quiet, dot.

Run prettier etc in a hook.

It's worth checking who the author is... Cristian's not exactly new to the game. I think he's being humble he doesn't know something despite his experience.

Thank you, that's very helpful. I think I could get close to that in some coding sessions where I'm running multiple in parallel but I suspect it's very very rare. Even with token efficient gpt5-codex my OpenAI bill is quite high so I think I will switch to Pro now.

I'm thinking about switching to ChatGPT Pro also. Any idea what maxes it out before I need to pay via the API instead? For context I'm using about 1b tokens a month so likely similar to you by the sounds of things.

Same. 30m tokens in a few hours (of which many were cached it seems and only a few output tokens). I use Gemini to solve only specific problems and in my case $20+ was worth it.

That's brilliant and even more absurd than mine!

One of my favourite exchanges with Gemini saw it arguing with me that what I was asking of it was wrong. It culminated with it declaring (approximately) "I cannot in good faith continue to design for you something that is objectively flawed" and then refused to go further. Of course, Gemini was wrong and when I proved it without doubt it replied in a style that suggested it "felt" shame. Quite odd and very funny.

Neo4j?

Recommendation: add more info to the home page to describe what it does without requiring sound. To evaluate this in a work environment I'd have to use my headphones which is an extra step I might not take unless the valid add and the product itself are very clear.

One of my first jobs (~1999) was as a research assistant working on seeing whether it's possible to make reentry vehicle heat shields from oak. Sadly, it wasn't.

I used magic patterns for a couple of months and it was one of the first no brainer AI services I've paid for outside of the main LLMs and IDEs. It did such an amazing job on quite an esoteric frontend that's very much not your normal web app. Impressive. Next time I need to design and build some more frontend code I'll be subscribing again.

Edit: to add some meat to that comment what surprised me was just how much better it was than Anthropic and OpenAI tools at that time for coming up with great looking products with minimal prompting. I also fed it other designs for inspiration and it replicated them brilliantly while incorporating my requirements. Good stuff.

Congrats on the launch. Another happy user here. (Caught a really sneaky issue too!)

I definitely recognize what you're saying and it's fantastic, but hiring managers and execs do indeed need to be active on this too.

The channels to reach out to more diverse candidate are more often than not different to those recruiters use to find your "average white guy in a hoodie". That's decreasingly the case for women (and I use that term very intentionally; I'm not talking generally "non-male" here), but social media and professional networking is quite hostile and/or intimidating to other groups. While the business benefits of putting in this extra effort in are obvious (it's a no brainer to seek out overlooked top talent, let alone the benefits of culture and diverse experiences), those benefits aren't always aligned with the hiring team who are incentivized in most companies to hit numbers. The business goals need to be driven from above by DEI initiatives or - if not - hiring manager allies who'll put their foot down.

An incredible achievement and in to my eyes a thing of beauty. This is not the first time I've seen computational geometry (played with it myself) but this output seems something else.
