TIL: codex doesn't inherit your env variables set in your shell, so any tool invocation won't work if it relies on the presence of a set env variable 🙄

tip: prefer CLI tools when available, instead of MCP (not the case of Context7, I know….) look how much context they take

This is a brand new Claude Code session.
28% of the context is already taken by MCP tools (Sentry, CircleCI, Context7, Atlassian), without even asking any questions.
Don't add MCP tools when a valid CLI alternative is available.

TIL: LLMs available through GitHub Copilot are not "just the same models", they are actually worse.
They seems to serve nerfed versions of them (models.dev):
- sonnet-4 without reasoning
- gpt-4.1 with 1/10 of its context window
I suspect they are also quantized to make them cheaper to serve 🙄

OpenCode finally minimises the pasted lines of text (just like Claude Code) 😍

This is a month of Claude Code usage with Pro (20$/month) plan: I consumed 6x times how much I paid.
Friends with either Pro or Max plans have similar usage rate.
Either A) this is not sustainable for Antropic (enjoy while it lasts) or B) Price will raise soon C) Costs for Antropic must go down

I'm not sure ccusage tool (to check Claude Code spending) works as intended. Until yesterday I had ~58$ usage (in 3 days). Now I have just 28$. Something is definitely wrong.

Friendly reminder: before you buy anything on Amazon, especially during Prime Days, install and use Keepa (or any other similar extension).
Most of the times the “discounted” price is not even lower the previous periodic discounts.

ChatGPT iOS app is not available in every country (like Italy, for example) yet….
but their website doesn’t know it!
So if you visit it from Safari on iOS it will propose and let you install the mobile app 😏
