Work: Enterprise OpenAI and Anthropic

Personal: $20/mo subscription to Anthropic and OpenAI. Default app "harness"

I haven't written a single line of code since a full year ago. Using Codex/GPT and Devin

1) Claude Ultra, Codex Plus, SuperGrok, Gemini Pro.

2) No.

3) Opus 5.5 on high for all the work. Reviewed by Codex by default. Additionally by Grok and Gemini (agy) for critical work.

I switched from Claude CLI to a custom-built harness because I got overwhelmed by walls of text in parallel sessions. Now I have a canvas per project where I spatially lay out cards. Each card spawns an agent in a worktree. The chat with it is condensed to WhatsApp style chat bubbles with all the thinking and tool calls folded away. The result of a card is a demo, usually a narrated video that I can comment on to trigger another iteration. Everything voice first, I mostly speak. Phone companion so I can keep working on the go.

I used to work with up to 6 Claude CLIs in parallel and couldn't go further. With my custom UX, I can do 20+ with fun. Now the bottleneck is actually my machine, so I added remote worker support to my harness to distribute the load to more machines.

(I open sourced the harness in the hope of sharing the fun. If you want to try it: https://github.com/sadilek/obeya)

4) No Paperclip or Munder Difflin or anything. I actually think it doesn't make sense to create persistent agent personas. Just spawn an agent when needed, give each full access to all skills and docs, and they'll figure it out.

5) Hermes Agent running, sending me regular news research reports, but frankly, it's just a cronjob and the whole Hermes setup isn't really adding value for me.

1) None

2) No

3) N/A

I am currently stacking 5 opencode go accounts, spending $50 a month for $500 in deepseek v4.1 flash credits, using OMP as my harness

Mainly CC Max with some API calls to OpenAI for different things.

No harnesses right now. Ok occasion using models in LocalLM.

Haven't got into agent orchestration much other than Paperclip earlier this year.

Until local LLMs become feasible on my modest hardware, I will be keeping AI tools safely confined to the browser. Never will I grant any kind of admin permission to black-box software that phones home to an oligarchic corporation.

In practice that means Duck.AI and Perplexity.

And the system clipboard.

I'm using Claude Code (Ultra) across a multitude of tmux sessions, over two or three laptops – largely so long running actions don't happen on the actual laptop I take with me (nothing worse than waiting around for an agent to finish before you can leave a café). To make it a little easier to visualise across those sessions I built https://belfry.robgough.net which is like herdr in some ways, but just uses standard tmux.

I also gave in after seeing my co-founder use it, and gave GrokBot a go. I use this for everything that's not coding or design... so marketing, email reading, right now it's currently inputting my meter readings to my electricity company after emailing the building management company and getting photos back. It's super useful at little chores that eat up time. I have it daily check the status of my various projects and services. I love it tbh. I've also built my own version, which I might move to... though now it's all set up it's quite sticky, and it already spotted an error my accountant made on some taxes so it's already saving me money and I'm feeling quite positive about it.

I'm getting a bit frustrated with having to run things on my laptops though -- it feels a little pets not cattle, and wish it was all in the cloud. I'm toying with building out an agent factory, but frankly there's no super-cheap way of doing this so I'm holding off, though I can see me building a tool that connects those laptops to it creating sandboxes with Apple's `container` (which I'm using successfully on my grokbot replacement).

1) 20$ Claude subscription. I used to have 2 20$ subscriptions but not anymore.

2) My main model is Deepseek flash via the API.

3) Claude Code CLI inside OpenShell. I like Claude Code's UX. Lots of custom skills and scripts.

4) No

5) No

none; no; none; no; not needed; no; none; unnecessary; no thanks; and not interested. "I've seen enough, kiddos."
