love these ~5MB vibe coded HTML files, Joe Weisenthal is vibing hard

Brendan known to be an exact opposite person by the way.

A quite funny post from his blog on this topic: https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2021-06-04/an-unbelievable...

Whats interesting to me is that these gpt-5.3 and opus-4.6 are diverging philosophically and really in the same way that actual engineers and orgs have diverged philosophically

With Codex (5.3), the framing is an interactive collaborator: you steer it mid-execution, stay in the loop, course-correct as it works.

With Opus 4.6, the emphasis is the opposite: a more autonomous, agentic, thoughtful system that plans deeply, runs longer, and asks less of the human.

that feels like a reflection of a real split in how people think llm-based coding should work...

some want tight human-in-the-loop control and others want to delegate whole chunks of work and review the result

Interested to see if we eventually see models optimize for those two philosophies and 3rd, 4th, 5th philosophies that will emerge in the coming years.

Maybe it will be less about benchmarks and more about different ideas of what working-with-ai means

The current realistic lower bound for actual work is the $100/€90/month Claude Max ("5x") plan. It allows roughly enough usage for a typical working month (4.25 x 40-50h). "Single-threaded", interactive usage with normal human breaks, sort of.

There are two usage quota windows to be aware of: 5h and 7d. I use https://github.com/richhickson/claudecodeusage (Mac) to keep track of the status. It shows green/yellow/red and a percentage in the menu bar.

Video monetizes attention better, but writing still monetizes authority better
