Forced to get used to Codex because I&#39;ve hit the weekly top-tier Claude Max limit until tomorrow evening... A conversation with my son got me to tell it to outline all features needed to build a Crusader Kings 3 level RTS game, and then I told it to create a todo list... Then I told it to execute it... It has an ECS setup. It has a web-based frontend. It has traits-based NPCs... And a *huge* set of features. It works. It&#39;s not CK3 level yet... But it&#39;s close to being a...

Codex is fine, btw.. It&#39;s just that I&#39;m used to Claude Code&#39;s quirks. Being made to talk to Codex is like having a fun coworker you know how to work with tell you they&#39;re going away for a few days, and introducing you to someone you haven&#39;t worked closely with for a while and who is overly serious as their replacement.

New hobby: &quot;Harassing&quot; the parakeets outside my office by whistling at them until they get confused.

Using opencode with Codex after hitting my Claude MAX weekly limit until tomorrow evening feels a bit as being the victim of a cruel practical joke... On one hand the Opencode UI is *so much better*, apart from the ridiculous Knight Rider spinner. On the other hand, using Codex feels like dealing with a passive-aggressive, slightly dim teenager who alternates between being too stupid or intentionally obstructive. I don&#39;t know why. GPT5.2 isn&#39;t generally a bad model.

Fun problem: Getting Claude to track knowledge claims in a large document, and cross-check the consistency of said claims across ~200k+ words of context. It does *remarkably well* at fact-checking the 90% easy cases, but the corner cases are *hairy* when you have to deal with all kinds of inane, indirect, and woolly language. Unfortunately, real-life people are bad at ensuring their writing is clear and unambiguous... #llm

Claude has a funny quirk where if you have it write things that include numbers, in the right context the odds are *heavily* skewed in favour of numbers that include 7, and if two digits or more, that contain &quot;47&quot;. Once seen, you can&#39;t unsee it. #llm
