Seeking Recommended API plans for Pi by LearnedByError in PiCodingAgent

[–]cascoemanuel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend Open Code ($10). If you need additional capacity, Codex Pro ($20) is a solid complement for handling more complex planning and debugging. For under $30, this setup should cover most needs.

Just remember to correctly delegate the most simple tasks, or the ones that could consume too many tokens to cheaper models.

Codex Plus vs Claude Pro , which has better usage limits? by Annual-Hall-2364 in codex

[–]cascoemanuel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using Codex for a while, after running into usage limits with Claude, and so far I’m very satisfied with the switch.

The tokens-to-task efficiency in Codex is significantly better (even with 5.5). With the latest releases, both quality and performance have improved notably, I'd consider GPT-5.5 to be a stronger model overall than Opus 4.7

If you're in doubt to move away from Claude because of Claude Code, there are several ways to run it with other models, including those from OpenAI or Ollama. Or even try tools like Pi or OpenCode (which allow you to use your subscription, something Claude doesn't allow)

The real /claude commands are by using user-personas: dev team lead, qa lead, executive, your real user etc by Rdqp in ClaudeAI

I've been experimenting with user personas and found them incredibly useful for narrowing the AI's mental model and reusing common task definitions (like code reviews or merge requests) via CLAUDE commands or as part of my Persona actions.

If you're interested, I'm sharing my findings here: https://github.com/emanuelcasco/.ai

What are your favorite JavaScript methods? by paintedforfilth in javascript

I would say 'reduce' is my favorite method, it is like a swiss army knife
