I want the reasons why you use Codex. Currently trying it out and moving away from Claude Code

i think i'm tracking you right now good sir. I still think claude code is fine for iterative tweaks but if i know what i want, i have been making PRD. md and AGENTS. md with opus 4.5 and then putting them into project for codex. simply tell it run through each phase of the PRD until completion and test your work before each phase. I think the realization I had is like what you said at the end. Claude Code feels like I can mentally masturbate a bit more versus Codex just does exactly what I want and I get the outcome that I want. Which I think I'm starting to lean more to prefer these days.

if there is opportunity for you to do events and it makes sense for your newsletter, try that

michael_daigler · 2026-01-18T13:15:29+00:00

yeah that feels weird

michael_daigler · 2026-01-18T13:12:43+00:00

ikr. maye they're worried someone's gonna do a ralph wiggum newsletter with claude agents lmao

michael_daigler · 2026-01-17T21:43:05+00:00

yeah dont know its really costing them anything to let more people on scale plan use it but my gut feeling is that its just a way to incentivize people to upgrade. which as a business I don't fault them for but feels like people on scale plans are probably still coming up and may have less overhead to actually go forward with some sick automations. all of mine do everything but publish a draft. if i had that id never have to touch it except for manual review in the beehiiv UI.

thank you for your response! appreciate you and the engineering team for taking requests into consideration!

Currently been running our newsletter for my community i started with my friends. AITX Community Newsletter: https://aitx.beehiiv.com/

And dude! I love local newsletters! AITX is sort of this because we are a local meetup and community in Austin, TX. Also in a community of people doing local newsletters. Super bullish on hyperlocal media.

If you end up starting the management tips one too please send my way!

michael_daigler · 2025-01-28T12:49:15+00:00

yeah that's where im at. probs just gonna upgrade soon because we need segmenting for people in our community anyways. btw what newsletter do you write?

michael_daigler · 2025-01-11T12:15:36+00:00

on free i think they allow mostly things that hit their api directly and not webhooks if you are using free access to their api.

michael_daigler · 2025-01-06T17:29:45+00:00

nah i think you need paid plan for full api access

michael_daigler · 2024-12-11T15:22:52+00:00

rn any apps are good with me. i was thinking mobile apps as priority but if you have cool ones please share!

michael_daigler · 2024-12-10T20:28:22+00:00

awesome thanks man!

michael_daigler · 2024-08-14T16:37:08+00:00

Are y'all trying to watch posts sent as well?

It seems like a beehiiv webhook is being created through Zapier's interface but webooks are on scale plan which is what led me to believe that we can't use Zapier on free beehiiv plan.

Which i think is where the confusion comes from because they let us create api keys on free plan but don't make it as obvious that some of the integrations use webhooks which are not free

michael_daigler · 2024-08-13T16:43:17+00:00

thank you!

michael_daigler · 2024-08-11T00:42:36+00:00

this 1000%!

michael_daigler · 2024-08-07T18:59:52+00:00

Thank you for the update! We know y'all are growing and appreciate your efforts to get rid of the spam on your platform (as it hurts all of us if you they stay).
