I use claude-code. claude-code now spins up many agents on its own, sometimes switch models to save costs, and can easily use 200+ tools concurrently, and use multiple skills at the same time when needed, its automation gets smarter and more parallel by the day, do we still need to outwit what's probably already done by claude-code? I still use tmux but no longer for multiple agents, but for me to poke around at will, I let the plan/code/review/whatever fully managed and parallelized by claude-code itself, it's massively impressive.
This rings true, as I’ve noticed that with every new model update, I’m leaving behind full workflows I’ve built. The article is really great, and I do admire the system, even if it is overengineered in places, but it already reads like last quarter’s workflow. Now letting Codex 5.3 xhigh chug for 30 minutes on my super long dictated prompt seems to do the trick. And I’m hearing 5.4 is meaningfully better model. Also for fully autonomous scaffolding of new projects towards the first prototype I have my own version of a very simple Ralph loop that gets feed gpt-pro super spec file.
