What's your favorite AI Coding agent CLI/GUI that can use Codex / Copilot subscriptions? * Codex is pretty bad from my experience * Copilot is quite better * OpenCode I haven't tried recently but I have heard good things. * Squad, quite good, from a multi-agent perspective, used at work, haven't setup it at home Any others that you would recommend?

    @xoofx@mastodon.social I mostly use Codex app https://developers.openai.com/codex/app/, but also VS Code Codex extension and sometimes Rider Codex, but Codex app and VS Codex codex extension work great for me.

    @xoofx@mastodon.social I don't like any of them because they need internet services. I am searching for a local coding agent. I find that "not being able to" write code locally without ai services is a bad pattern.

  • @xoofx@mastodon.social I literally have no idea what they have named "copilot" this time, so I did a search, and... "Should You Use GitHub Copilot or OpenAI Codex", a reddit thread. From 4 years ago. Jesus, why do they insist on this shit naming scheme? OpenCode is the one I use, only because it's open source (-ish), and it feels the least bad when compared to alternatives that were last updated half a year ago or such. Search for "squad + ai" returns 4 completely different things, all alike at the same time

    @xoofx@mastodon.social I use the desktop version of OpenCode. It's getting updates all the times so don't expect something stable and mature but it's better than the other thing I tested. For instance it doesn't ask you all the time about permissions. Also I was a bit frustrated by TUIs so having a full desktop experience was refreshing.
