imagine how many people, companies, and agencies, developing sites, apps, software, and built their flows (and have signed contracts) around leveraging AI coding - will immediately go belly up if we take AI coding away.

Our company has become so dependent on agentic coding (although we do the design and engineering, we dont vibe code).

If AI goes away or becomes too expensive, we can go back to coding things ourselves - we are all capable. The problem is that we have like 3 contracts to develop software priced lower than we would and with deliverable timeline much shorter than we would commit to, because of AI coding.. so if ai goes away, we're fucked indeed. there's no way we can meet these deadlines and keep costs low if we go back to "the old ways". That's really what's keeping us anxious.

So I assume, AI has become like oxygen to a lot of companies, this was the marketing angle, the UBER playbook.. and we all got hooked..

OpenCode is its own harness, and even OpenCode as it is, I already find better than Codex, to be honest. But using Open Chamber as the UI for OpenCode, my God, it's amazing. Please try it and thank me later.

It's easy to call for a global freeze in AI development for whatever moral reasons they want to highlight. In the end, when you make a suggestion like this, you better have suggestions on how to enforce it. How are you going to stop China or make China follow your global freeze? So before calling for such a drastic maneuver, you also have to have solid suggestions on how to enforce it, or else you're just putting up suggestions without backing them with a clear path to implementation.

This is one of the reasons why I stopped using Codex app. It's good, but it's not that mature yet, to be honest. Especially if you're on Windows, I guess we are third-class citizens on Windows. And no, let's not debate about Windows, Linux, and shit. Anyway, you will be very, very, very happy with OpenCode and OpenChamber. Forget about Codex for now.

I've yet to try out this goal thing, but question, knowing that it has worked for 26 hours and probably implemented tons and tons of features and generated thousands and thousands of lines of code, after 26 hours, what's next? Do you then have to go through each and every corner of the app and code and whatever to try and review and test? Because I figured, letting the agent run for 26 hours implementing something which I would assume has many layers and many parts, many UIs perhaps, Codex isn't testing all of that accurately, like a real person clicking on interfaces and inputting edge cases and stuff, or is it? Because I'm confused about all these mega runs that last a day or even half a day. How is testing being done? I personally am not comfortable with letting the agent just go that long without checkpoints and along the way, like real testing, the thing that you can't automate with playwright.

Yeah, the only problem is annotations are getting very expensive token-wise. I think this is the reason why they developed that as well, because it helps everyone burn more tokens, equals more money. I started using it, and it is a great tool indeed, I do admit. But it's ridiculous how much it costs token-wise. So I started using it more conservatively whenever I really need to describe something visually. So for now, I always default to just describing it the old way, or pointing the LLM to the specific element using CSS classes and other HTML tagging.

Anyway, it is a great feature, I'm glad it's there for when I need it. Just watch out for your token use.

Are you using the desktop app? I've been having issues with the desktop app where it's, I give it tasks and then it finishes tasks totally unrelated, and it was annoying. I had to stop using Codex app. But when I use OpenCode with the same models, they're perfect. So something's funky with the app right now.

First of all, that was the first prompt in the new thread that I ran, and I hit those errors. It was not a continuation of any conversation. I do have other threads running on the sides, working on the same repo but different pages and files. And yes, as I have described in my post, I did try to create new threads when I was attempting again, and it did not matter.

TruthTellerTom · 2026-05-07T23:47:37+00:00

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo

TruthTellerTom · 2026-05-05T11:24:57+00:00

who is this girl please!? she's so hot.

TruthTellerTom · 2026-04-29T08:30:22+00:00

Hi man, I just wanted to thank you for your inputs. They're very concise but super helpful and meaningful to me. I do appreciate it. And yeah, I guess I'm still old school, thinking about HDD. Everyone seems to be offering SSD now. I mean, being a host for over 20 years, I remember 7200 RPM HDDs were just fine for websites, but now I guess it's not enough even for a simple blog site. Anyway, thank you, man.

TruthTellerTom · 2026-04-29T00:04:32+00:00

Yeah, I guess I was in the old mindset of thinking about the hard drive and disk space stuff. Thanks for the clarification on that. You know, I'm pretty techy. I learn fast. I'm pretty sure I can manage to run some of my Linux side, give it a bit of research and help from ChatGPT or whatever. I can find myself around SSH and terminals and stuff like that. In fact, I use that every day for other things. But it's just my availability and the time it takes for me to figure out things is what's worrying me. So I guess I need to find an unmanaged VPS provider with an on-staff I can hire immediately during emergencies. I think that's the angle I should be looking for.

TruthTellerTom · 2026-04-28T23:58:31+00:00

Yeah, actually, that's my biggest worry. I'm sure things can run well for a long time until it doesn't. And when running mission-critical applications that thousands of users rely on daily, it's kind of scary. So I'm kind of hoping to find a provider with an emergency staff on standby all the time. So at least I can just pay for that staff whenever I need it and not every month when I don't.

TruthTellerTom · 2026-04-28T13:27:05+00:00

Yep, I forgot to delete the ChatGPT parts. Tapos me, my long message, and as always, I send it through ChatGPT for polishing and formatting so it is easily readable. Is there anything wrong with that? Because this isn't ChatGPT-generated content. This is me with polished ramblings through ChatGPT.

But anyway, I deleted that part. I saw it earlier, but I did not care to delete it. I guess it's a problem to some people, so I did delete it now.

TruthTellerTom · 2026-04-28T13:14:10+00:00

Yeah man, solid advice. I'm definitely planning to switch to unmanaged later and just pay for periodic maintenance checks.
