Personally I really like grilling before a big feature, it's a Matt Pocock skill that will iterate and ask you a lot of questions so you REALLY know what you are building. It's particularly good for complex and big changes, so you actually know what the AI is gonna build before it does. Of course, that's not always the case, sometimes you don't care about the specifics. But I think an integrated "plan mode" is really not needed, maybe a "brainstorming" skill would be more useful.

How do you think it compares to Grok and Gemini?

I learned about Smalltalk from Ruby, because DHH recommended a book about Smalltalk back in the day. I really enjoy Smalltalk-style OOP, but at the same time it can be so different to Java enterprise OOP with all its patterns.

Nowadays I write a lot of TypeScript and prefer having a type system (especially for agentic coding), but Ruby is one of my favorite languages to write myself :)

Claude and Codex pricing will eventually have to come down, for most common coding tasks you don't need a super smart slow model but a smart-enough and very fast one.

So its the same you can do with using any AI app, but they make you buy an inferior notebook (compared to macbooks)

Did you use Codex 5.4 for the web design? :p I think Codex tends to do very similar designs, could be completely mistaken tho

Out of those I think Gaming might be the biggest, and some games like League of Legends (all Riot games) need Vanguard, their anti-cheat which only works on Windows. So it's not easy for Valve but hopefully it will get there sometime.

The biggest reason I don't just migrate is because gaming. Most steam games could work on Linux but then if you want to play one that doesn't you have a problem. I'd rather just use Windows and never have a problem, because the game was designed for my platform.

That being said, for work I use macOS.

When I tried FreeBSD, I was also blown away by the manual, so simple, such high-quality documentation. I think what I liked the most is that it felt coherent, unlike modern OS like Linux and Windows. I think macOS might be the most cohesive of the popular OS's.
