absolutely second this. I'm mainly a claude code user, but i have codex running in another tab and for code reviews and it's absolutely killer at analyzing flows and finding subtle bugs.

Have you tried Claude Code in the second tab instead, that would be a fair comparison.

Claude Code isn't as surgical as Codex at reviews

Alfie.io by xpflow | Remote (US) - East coast timezone preferred | Founding Full-Stack Engineer | https://alfie.io

Alfie.io builds AI-powered tools that help small and mid-sized e-commerce brands reach new customers who are already interested in their products. We automate outreach, rankings, and discovery of affiliates, creators and ambassadors using LLM-driven workflows. The team is small and experienced, and we move quickly.

I'm looking for an experienced full stack engineer to join the team - the right candidate will have a large degree of freedom in building the product, but plenty of support to get up and running. Our current stack is Typescript, Next.js, vercel, but we're actively looking at options for some of the more data intensive workflows.

Real world experience with AI coding agents a must.

I think that's a shame - I take a different approach that means the article resonates with me a lot more.

It's about learning enough to be able to appreciate something beyond surface level. You struck a chord with coffee and headphones - yes, I've gone deep on both, but rather than suck the enjoyment out of cheaper options it's given me an appreciation across the segment. I can now buy a cheap coffee and make it taste excellent - I can appreciate a well tuned headphone regardless of cost or lack of technicalities.

When headphones reach $2k+ and coffee starts costing $50 for 100g, rather than get universally better they tend to get opinionated - a different flavor of weird as a friend once said.

So I would suggest that it's fine to go deep on something, but make sure you're doing it to get to a deeper true/understanding.

The blending between background and hair are the real give-away. Some of the faces are really quite convincing.

Try gently pressing your finger against your larynx when you read in your head - you'll likely find you read faster - this works for me, although I tend not to bother.

Interesting tip, I will try it.

The worst thing about the inner voice is it's not just when reading, it won't be quiet at bed time. And I have a tendency to complete thoughts as words. Even if I know where it is leading, and what the conclusion is, it feels like I have to see it through and phrase it correctly in my head. I feel very uncomfortable leaving it hanging.

Exactly. Sometimes I even feel compelled to complete the sentence more than once (as if I wasn't paying attention enough the first time, so I feel the need to say it again). I think there is a subtle difference between that and "reading without production" (when I try it, it feels more like skimming text; I have to really try to pay attention). To me, reading/inner-speaking feels like engaging with the text; to only be able to "see" words would be lifeless (I'm assuming that some/many/most people can do both).

For me (and the teams I work with) it's to encourage modular thinking - everything is a candidate module that can be extracted, put in source control and shared.

For tests that go beyond small (unit/spec) level we have a project level tests folder because these tests make use of multiple modules and it wouldn't make sense to place them closer to the code.

Someone else in comments mentioned cohesion - that's another way of thinking about it.

You can create a JWT without writing to a datastore - this is a key difference.

In my experience it just mean they're sharing the property, not living in the same room.

Ah. We say housemates to mean that, and roommates to mean if you are actually sharing a room (which wouldn't be likely).

Yeah - people don't tend to say "house" when they mean "apartment" here, so a housemate would imply that you are living in a house.

3 months is the standard in the UK. It's not often used, but it certainly can be.
