With the higher GPT-5.5 pricing, I wasn’t sure if in practice it would matter, so I preemptively disabled /fast in Codex. Seems like a non-issue. I can’t get anywhere close to using half of my tokens. Whenever I check it’s at 80% or higher remaining.

I’m now back to running “high” and /fast for everything. If I think a problem is difficult, I’ll bump to “xhigh” and won’t think twice about it.

Michael Tsai quoted this from X:

I have a friend in apple.

He has over 200 dollars credit on claude everyday to spend.

I find this difficult to believe. Even though Claude Code is more stingy with tokens than Codex, $200/day seems outrageous. If this is even close to true, it’s no wonder Anthropic is making so much money. But the popular opinion about Claude might be a trailing narrative, before everyone notices how good GPT-5.5 is.

Some people are moving away from GitHub. Kev Quirk is thinking about it too:

It’s like leaving Facebook - when I was thinking about it, I was worried if I’d miss my friends or be out the loop. It’s been over a decade at this point and I don’t miss it one bit - no regrets whatsoever. I think moving off of GitHub would be the same.

For me, I care the most about controlling my blog. Where my code lives is less important to me. Git is already distributed. If you moved a repo from GitHub to Codeberg, it wouldn’t be any less centralized than before. So that makes the question more about whether you have strong opinions about GitHub and Microsoft. (Which many people do!)

Micro.blog has 100+ repos on GitHub right now. Some are forks of projects that we can live without, but there are at least dozens that matter a lot to us. I personally can’t justify the switching costs for all of those repos and any potential collaborators, not when there are so many other things to work on for the open web that I feel are more critical to get right.

I completely understand that the equation may be different for other developers. When I quit Twitter ages ago, it was important for me to stick to my principles even with the cost of leaving. If there wasn’t a cost, it wouldn’t mean anything. So I respect the choice.

I’ll be curious to hear how it works out for people. Not just right now when it feels pretty good, but a year from now when we have some perspective on the good and bad of switching.
