I wonder what would happen if I tried ChatGPT Codex on one of my code base built with Claude Code. Could this bring some unforeseen areas of improvement? Could this be equivalent to human code review?

I’m currently on vacation but I keep an eye on the tech news and commentary landscape. With all the brouhaha surrounding Claude Code spotty performance lately, I’m starting to be wary of resuming my work on some of my projects when I get back home. 😟

iPhone 18 Pro Reportedly Won’t Come in Black — MacRumors

Apple offers the iPhone 17 Pro and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max in just three colors – Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue – but notably there’s no black option. Last year was the first time Apple’s high-end iPhones have not been available with a black or dark gray color option in any way, but those hoping for the return of black this year for the iPhone 18 Pro should look away now.

My go-to choice is black, the only exception was for the iPhone 13 Pro which was in light blue (or whatever color they used to call it). If no black option for the 18 Pro Max, then my second choice goes to the deep red.

OpenAI against the world:

Apple was seen as a laggard in AI development, and in fairness, they clearly saw themselves that way and invested billions in trying to catch up to the likes of OpenAI and Anthropic, but they failed miserably. And yet, they seem like they’re going to be doing just fine. You need a computer to do all this vibe coding on. You need a phone to talk to an AI agent. Who makes the best computers and phones? Apple does.

MP3 vs iPod playbook all over again? Or is it different this time? Not having to pay for all the necessary infrastructure to run AI might be beneficial for Apple’s future.

It’s been a long time since I watched a rocket launch live from NASA. It was a great one 🚀. I didn’t know that two of the main engines are coming from previous space shuttles!! 😳

So, Claude Code source code has leaked, for real? 😳 Or is this a bad April Fool thing? Seems serious if true… how can they cope with this? Why did it leaked and how? It sounds like a disaster for the company.

Slash AI:

Personally, I couldn’t care less what you write on your /ai page. The same way I couldn’t care less if you use em-dashed. Words are cheap, easy to write, and they mean less and less. But your history, all the baggage you carry with you, all you have written and said, that is harder to fake, building it is time-consuming, but destroying it takes a second. If you start posting AI slop, my trust in you is gone in an instant, and no matter how you’ll try to justify it, that trust will not come back.

I can understand Manuel’s disdain of anything related to AI, but I feel his stance is a little too much “binary”; all or nothing. There must be a middle ground, isn’t it?
