Leo Laporte @leolaporte.me · 21/02/2026I don’t really have any projects that can challenge either yet, but I am planning a pretty big project. I’ll let you know. Hell I might even try the 1M context window on Claude if I get really itchy. 120
Leo Laporte @leolaporte.me · 21/02/2026After a couple of (very productive) months using Claude code with Claude Max subscription I’ve decided to give GPT 5.3 Codex a try with OpenAI’s max subscription. It feels like a break up. Is that weird? I have to pack up all of Claude’s stuff and put it out on the stoop while Codex moves in. 9240

Leo Laporte @leolaporte.me · 12/02/2026It’s so unsettling watching our 250 year-old democracy decay into dictatorship while the most disruptive technology since steam power is evolving at superhuman speed. It’s like watching a locomotive barrel headlong into a tornado. I have a bad feeling about this. 77812

Leo Laporte @leolaporte.me · 29/12/2025And just to prove Claude Code really can do some interesting things, I just used it to add the ability to post here to Emacs. It referred to several Micro.blog posts and set it up in one shot. 4220

Leo Laporte @leolaporte.me · 01/10/2025Politics is definitely the third rail these days and we try (and often fail) to avoid them on all our shows. I’ve often toyed with a offering a separate show with a No Holds Barred political discussion, though. Thanks for the encouragement! 010
