The "non-slow" CI tests have been running for 1 hour and 46 minutes, and they are only 67% complete. Cripes! How long will the "slow" tests take?!

4001 comments, 580 files changed, and 318K lines added--officially my new record. I wish I could share the link, but it's in a private repo. It's an adoption of my coding agent accelerator template repo (github.com/franklesn...) into an existing repository. #GitHub #CodingAgents #Codex #ClaudeCode

I should have listened to @przemyslaw.evotec.xyz and set up self-hosted #GitHub runners 😬

Hmm. The last two days, my #Codex #VSCode extension works for a while. But, then -- seemingly randomly -- it refuses to display anything other than a grey box.

I am not a fan of this Claude Code UI. I get that it's editing a sensitive file, but not telling me what edit is being made/proposed makes this dialog meaningless. Also, right before this, I explicitly told Claude Code to make this edit, so the redundant pause is incredibly frustrating.

I'm trying something new: Codex is bossing Claude around. Also known as: the fox watching the henhouse. 😅

Codex taught me a new word: mojibake en.wikipedia.org/wik... (Another example where I knew the concept, but not the word for the concept - so: thanks, AI! 😅)

Couldn't turn this off fast enough. Actually that's a lie; I tried to turn this off previously but I don't think it was an available notification category.

Hot damn. 13 hours later, I finally have clean CI. (Doing Dev Containers "right" is hard)

Frank Lesniak @franklesniak.com · 15/07/2026

Windows Defender is flagging #Codex as malicious. "This program is dangerous and executes commands from an attacker." The ironic part is I'm working on building a devcontainer module for github.com/franklesn... -- to make it easy to sandbox coding agents. I guess I'll work from Codex on the web...

I backed into a parking space in a parking lot the other day, paid to park, and went to dinner. I came back to a ticket because apparently backing into a space is not allowed. Freaking $40 ticket. Ridic. I go to pay it, and they charge both a convenience fee AND a CC fee? Seriously, #ForestPark?

Hmm... it seems Claude Code's commit signing is down.

GitHub Copilot Code Review seems to be down or broken, at least on the PR I'm working on. Meanwhile, Codex performed a code review just fine...

When the fellow AD nerds are talking about coding agents, you set up a channel for the topic: 🤣

GitHub Copilot's code reviewer constantly has custom instructions hallucinations like these. Very annoying.

So apparently GitHub Copilot doesn't like it when you try to swarm a bunch of agents at something.

Maybe it's an issue with Anthropic?

When a book you need in digital format isn't available, you pay to have it scanned to a PDF, then convert it to Markdown. What could go wrong? The PDF is only... 2.2 GB 😅

I'm on my first United flight with Starlink (a regional jet). The internet quality is really good... like, good enough that Teams call quality would be good. Minor packet loss would cause some disruption, but overall, it is really good. I'm excited about United upgrading the rest of its fleet.
