@lain what's your breakdown of what model you use for different work? do you find opus better for just UI work and then gpt-5.2 xhigh for everything else?

also, when comparing codex 5.3 to 5.2 xhigh, are you using 5.3 at xhigh level as well?
@lain thanks, this has been helpful. especially the TDD approach. i'll need to work in that idea of creating mocks of APIs, especially since i'm currently focused on more the QA side of development

using a separate agent to review another agent's work has been helpful too, even when it comes to evaluating a plan. i iterated a few times on a plan until new agents were satisfied with it, and then codex just oneshot the app, backend, frontend, db w/ migrations, all working in a docker-compose. crazy from where claude code was a year ago

i've been using Peter Steinberger's advice (from recent Lex Fridman) of asking the agent if there's anything it would have done differently after it completes work to pick up on pain points

one thing--i recall you saying you were having codex call claude code cli to implement things in some cases? are you still doing that, and why/how?
@lain can you tell me a bit about how you go about your agentic coding workflow, or just give me some samples of prompts you'll use to get codex/claude code to work for you, especially for a long period? i don't think i'm being specific enough about what i want accomplished (and how), and i think it would be helpful to hear what you find does and doesn't work to get useful outputs if you wouldn't mind sharing!
