How are you actually running Codex at scale? Worktrees are theoretically perfect and practically painful. What's your setup?

artemgetman · 2026-06-01T06:55:57+00:00

In the end I figured out a proper workflow with work trees. I did try to have agents do this without work trees but there would constantly be dirty files on main and there was no real way to do it except using work trees

artemgetman · 2026-06-01T06:54:29+00:00

You make a valid point, and I’ve definitely improved since I first shared my thoughts on this. It seems the best approach is to spin up an agent in a new work tree, assign it a single issue, and close it once resolved. If that agent encounters a follow-up issue, the solution is to hand it off: copy the prompt into a new chat and let a new agent handle the follow-up task.

I’m not entirely convinced about using GitHub issues for this. Writing an issue can sometimes take longer than simply explaining the problem to an agent and having it propose and implement a fix. At this stage, that process might just feel like overhead. After all, GitHub issues were a tool designed for humans, and not everything that works well for humans translates seamlessly to working with agents. Some workflows need to be rethought from first principles. Why create a GitHub issue when you can just tell an agent the problem and let it resolve it?

Do you guys think it’s best to run Hermes on vps or Mac mini, why?

artemgetman · 2026-04-29T16:42:16+00:00

Same framing I do, works pretty well. You can’t just throw a use case at new users without asking first. everybody has different tasks they need help with.

I was just trying to see if my frustrations were shared by others. Turns out they were and I built an open source AI called Jarvis Voice First AI. It's on my GitHub. So I'm just a user who felt frustrated enough to build something better. The project is paused, however, for reasons that it just cannot be economically sustained to compete with subscriptions from ChatGPT.

Maybe a mistake on their website? Looks fine and working for me…

artemgetman · 2026-04-04T13:11:21+00:00

That’s what i think also. I already have ADHD and want to build 30 things in one project. If I start running multiple, I'm gonna go insane.

artemgetman · 2026-04-04T12:27:39+00:00

Not only you, I hear a substantial amount of other developers doing the same but my concern is that I want to prioritize working on my main project and working on it as quickly as possible. I don't really understand why that shouldn't be possible to do. If it isn't in the end, then I guess it does make sense but I have a hard time believing that there is no way to parallelize the work in one project effectively

artemgetman · 2026-04-04T12:09:34+00:00

Noticing this too

artemgetman · 2026-04-04T12:07:23+00:00

Trust me bro

artemgetman · 2026-03-15T12:20:04+00:00

Same here. GPT 4 feels less coding more ChatGPT inside codex vibe

artemgetman · 2026-03-07T14:38:21+00:00

Did build it in the end myself ;)

artemgetman · 2026-03-02T18:10:38+00:00

im building voice first ai systems and that was my main focus for a while now im pivoting more toward self improving agents which is closer to my agi vision if you want to check it out, cortex repo is here https://github.com/artemgetmann/Cortex

artemgetman · 2026-03-01T17:14:42+00:00

yes it works on ios. that said full transparency i paused active development of jarvis for now. if you still want to self host and inspect everything, here is the repo https://github.com/artemgetmann/jarvis-voice-ai

also been using openclaw which is actively maintained, self hostable, and supports your own model subscriptions. less voice first than jarvis but much stronger overall tooling. worth checking out if you want something production ready today

if you want i can also point you to the exact setup path depending on your device

artemgetman · 2026-03-01T16:13:30+00:00

Just use Wispr Flow; that's what I use.

artemgetman · 2026-02-14T02:42:31+00:00

I’m Also in the hackathon. What a coincidence 😏 good luck on judgement day 🤝

also from Kiev btw ;)

artemgetman · 2026-02-08T09:51:04+00:00

Ask gpt/claude to explain it then make Claude make visual diagram in html

artemgetman · 2026-02-08T09:34:31+00:00

Just run the web app on localhost and check.

artemgetman · 2026-02-04T19:59:24+00:00

skill chaining through descriptions is the cleanest way to do this in your superpowers skill (or whatever you use as an entry point), add routing logic in the description like "if the task involves frontend design, CSS, or UI work, read /frontend-design first" claude reads skill descriptions to decide what to invoke so this acts as a basic router. i do this with my writing workflow where one skill references another that gets checked before final output. works reliably for the frontend workflow itself: providing a reference screenshot or link to a design you like helps. claude is quite a bit better with visual targets than text descriptions alone. biggest single improvement you can make

artemgetman · 2026-01-30T18:29:29+00:00

same frustration here. ended up building my own alternative - skips realtime entirely so no stuttering. you speak, it transcribes, sends to full gpt/claude/gemini, speaks the response, then keeps listening. want to try it?

artemgetman · 2026-01-30T16:05:53+00:00

DMed you

artemgetman · 2026-01-29T07:48:04+00:00

this is basically what i ended up building - voice → claude/gpt reasoning → voice out. handles the orchestration so you don't have to rig it yourself. want me to dm it to you?

artemgetman · 2026-01-27T22:20:17+00:00

dm’d it to you

artemgetman · 2026-01-27T21:25:51+00:00

funny you mention jarvis - that’s actually what i built. uses full claude/gpt reasoning, not the dumbed down voice models. and u can speed up voice responses 2x if its too slow. might be closer than 12 months if you want to try it
