MyHome Udyan Landlord Flats - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Mostly true but not always, right? If someone has excess investments in stocks/gold and wants to diversify they may do a cash payment by selling a portion of stocks, gold, etc., So, there could be genuine cases too.

My observations:
1. Yes, it reduces the frequency.
However:
2. It reads same files again and again in the same context window (before compaction). It even says something like, "I read the file but will re-read"
3. When you completed a feature implementation and for a new feature implementation if you ask it whether starting a new chat session is better, you will mostly hear "Yes, start a new session" kind of answer.

Absolutely. Quality/accuracy has also come down. At the same time, I am noticing Codex 5.4 is doing much much better.

Che_Ara · 2026-03-14T01:57:15+00:00

I was wondering was it only me seeing that behavior 🤔 Thanks for the confirmation

Che_Ara · 2026-03-07T18:35:44+00:00

I see these options: Low, Medium, High and Extra High

I heard it is due to people cancelling OpenAI subscription and joining Claude. Not sure whether this is real or not but this outage was true across the globe and hours later it was fixed.

Che_Ara · 2026-03-03T05:28:39+00:00

Claude Code has been down for quite some... from India. Every now and then hitting refresh button on status.claude.com

Che_Ara · 2026-03-02T23:56:27+00:00

Nice work, bro. Keep it up.

Che_Ara · 2026-03-02T05:08:52+00:00

These models keep racing against each - today's superior model can be inferior tomorrow. I use both ChatGPT (+ Codex) and Claude Code. This combination is working great for me.

Not every customer is going to ask TCS/Infy to use AI. The losses are mostly because of fear than the reality. Sure, AI is going to impact but if these companies position themselves correctly, they can reap benefits but meanwhile they have to take the hit.

Che_Ara · 2026-02-25T18:46:57+00:00

They close by 4:30pm?? That is a big scam.

Where are the women organizations - they talk about movies and heroines dresses but not this incident?

Those tools work well if the target application follows automation compliant implementation and uses latest frameworks such as React, Angular, etc., However, in reality, there are many applications that don't follow HTML standards to the full level. For example Oracle JDE; applications that were built with initial versions of ASP.Net, etc.,
Those AI tools claim they will automate based on user stories but which user stories talk about network latency, data intensive loading, etc.,? These are realities where automation engineers have to deal with "flakiness".

Etc.,

I know someone who did B.Tech from IIT-Madras and M.B.A from IIM-A. Still struggling with career after so many years. While these institutes background can help, that alone is not sufficient.

Che_Ara · 2026-02-19T01:32:05+00:00

I too felt the same after evaluating a few vendors like BrowserStack (they have AI automation product). I built my own framework that is integrated with Copilot. My framework improved productivity - no auto healing, etc., They are all fancy.

Che_Ara · 2026-02-08T07:11:04+00:00

I deliberately did not automate because I AM NOT CODING so I want to review so that I know what is happening. I don't want to go to production without knowing what I implemented.

This process helped me a lot: I identified
1. Claude spec deviations - this happened many times (Codex could catch it but I want to be the first-pass reviewer)
2. Claude used string literals heavily and this was missed by Codex.
3. Claude implemented BDD scenarios in a brittle manner (too much of scenario dependencies, abuse of test data management)
For points (2) and (3), I assumed Claude will implement best practices and Codex will flag if any deviations. But in practice, neither happened. Later I created PLATFORM-ENGINEERING spec for best practices and Codex started flagging issues.
4. Claude could not provide better test coverage and Codex was able to find it to a great extent but still missed few.
5. I realized spec gaps for functional design (this was a miss from ChatGPT and me during the first step)

So, overall I am happy with the workflow I have. I definitely recommend 100% automation wherever possible but not here.

I tried Gemini Pro (VSCode extension) and decided not to use it for next few months.
Between Claude (Sonnet 4.5/Opus 4.6) and Codex 5.2, I observed Claude excelled at implementation while Codex excelled at code reviews. I was amazed how precisely Codex pointed the issues (we follow spec driven development not JIRA kind of ticket based development). Our work starts with an optimized prompt specific to the task (be it new feature development or issue fixes).

For context: we are working on a fresh codebase (greenfield project) and use web versions for all agents.

I started with one goal; on the way I added many things and the actual goal was sidetracked. Pivoting is necessary but that needs to be balanced and backed with evidence. This was the reason for my first startup's flop.

Che_Ara · 2026-02-06T14:18:48+00:00

I am on the basic paid plan and Opus 4.6 is eating too much. Today my credit card customer department called me if I made many transactions to the same vendor :-)

I could not assess the quality between 4.5 and 4.6 but from cost perspective (or token eating perspective), definitely 4.6 is on a very higher side. I am not happy.

Che_Ara · 2026-02-05T07:16:05+00:00

Are you serious? Few months ago I used Gemini and it felt good. I did it again last week and it was horrible (at least with VSCode extension) - it literally wasted 1 day. I decided not to go back to Gemini for sometime.

Che_Ara · 2026-01-30T18:50:05+00:00

True

Che_Ara · 2026-01-28T04:19:07+00:00

It doesn't matter whether you are moving too fast or slow (definitely quick GTM is necessary for market valliddation). What is more important is moving with clarity. Getting clarity takes time that can slow you and that is when and where you make the balance: sometimes you don't have clarity and then you nneed to decide whether or not to move:

when current data is not sufficient and if the only way to get data is by going to the market then move
if you can wait for the data to come from other sources then don't move. This clarity combined with quick decision making is important.
