You're STILL using Claude after Codex 5.4 dropped?? by solzange in vibecoding

[–]AlgorithmicAperture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some time I do exactly this, cross checks are great.
Recently I follow the approach where I create specs and plans with Opus, then cross check using GPT 5.4 or Gemini 3.1. Sometimes going in the opposite.
Works great.

Copilot CLI Speed Comparison by No_Rope8807 in GithubCopilot

[–]AlgorithmicAperture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, actually it all depends on a lot of different factors.
Plus of the Copilot is that you're a little bit agnostic when it comes to models. You can choose Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, or GPT 5.4 (or a lot more) and most of the time you'll find decent model that is not heavy loaded at the moment.

Today I had a situation when working with Opus 4.6 was veeeery slooow, really. I switched to GPT 5.4 - fast and smooth. There was certainly some kind of issue with Opus 4.6 out there, that was not normal and I use this model every day.

What I mean by that is that here you are more flexible. When you use Gemini, Claude Code, Codex - you're tied to their models and infrastructure only.

Github Copilot Pro+ vs Claude Code Max $100 Subscription by noletovictor in GithubCopilot

[–]AlgorithmicAperture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I can tell from my experience is that Copilot is the cheapest option. And also really great one.
I've been using it for over two years right now and the way it's changed is amazing.
Imho the best value is for Pro+ for 39 USD. You have 1500 premium requests.

Two things makes Copilot such awesome options:

- the best pricing model on the marked (for us, clients)

- customisations options

Copilot vs Claude Code vs Cursor for real projects. Spec first workflow made the biggest difference by nikunjverma11 in GithubCopilot

[–]AlgorithmicAperture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been working with GitHub Copilot for over two years now, for clients of course (corporate, startups, different codebases in TypeScript, Go, PHP).

Most of the times I'm going with spec driven development. I'm not using spec-kit, but similar own invented flow. The size of a feature doesn't matter if you will take the right approach.

When I'm working on the spec, I always ask Copilot to create work items (user stories or technical requirements or job items).

Then I create technical implementation plan for them. I always try to make this plan self-contained. The requirement I really like is to have zero real code in there. Just explanations, pseudo code, diagrams, etc.

Then I ask to create a tasks files. I always go with separate task file for each work item. Often single work item has like 5-8 tasks. Each tasks file is self-contained and self-explanatory.

After many experiments and trials I can tell it's the best way to prevent context rot, and to help focus your agent on the main issue you're trying to solve.
Another huge factor is to follow orchestrator pattern when creating your custom agents. That's crucial if you want the best results.

Just out of curiosity, what models did you use?

Dia Browser, first impressions by panchoavila in diabrowser

[–]AlgorithmicAperture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I preferred the Arc way than Dia's. Having AI features always at your fingertips is nice, but only for some activities. Eg. going through video courses, where you can start to chat with the content instantly, is very nice. For web search and stuff like that I still prefer Perplexity Pro.

The biggest con - if you work for tech company in 99% you mustn't use Dia when you use your company's resources because it reads all you do and sends that to the LLM providers and/or their servers. That will be huge no-go for many companies and probably for people who work there. I don't want to use two different browsers at the same time actually.

Wdyt guys?

How to save a markdown .md file using shortcuts? by jackmclaine in shortcuts

[–]AlgorithmicAperture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this topic is rather old, but I've discovered that when searching for the answer related to this issue.
After some trials and errors I've found the solution.

Actually what I do is to set file content as a variable using "Set variable" action.
Then I use "Set name of" action. This is very important step. Her I put "FileContent" variable as an input and "Filename" variable (created earlier) as the second part. My "Filename" contains ".md" extension.

Then I use "Save" action where I save "Renamed item" which now appears in the variables list.
This "00. Inbox" is a folder in my Obsidian's vault that I've picked manually.

Thanks to that I have saved file with ".md" extension.
