Happy Father’s Day! Starting mine with a morning hot tub. πŸ”₯πŸ’¦

My Claude Code + Codex 30-day token usage versus my subscription cost looks good. Just about 2B tokens. I suspect this is going to go up even more as I’m venturing into autonomous coding agents.

Two side-by-side API usage dashboards showing 30-day token usage of 1.1B and 822M with costs of $844.96 and $585.78 respectively.

Just told Claude Code “you have broad approval to do whatever is needed to execute this effort” and then made me double-take about “super intelligence” risks. πŸ˜…

We’ll see how this goes…

I asked Codex to watch one of my agents, Elixir, and using suggestions from Elixir and its own observations automatically modify Elixir as needed with a GitHub Issue as a tracker.

I’ll be curious to see what they do together.

With some trepidation I’m taking my third try with Obsidian. This time with the promise of using it in collaboration with various agents. We’ll see how this works. Obsidian being primarily used by Agents may actually be a worthwhile path.

Morning stop at Fika Coffee. Best coffee on the North Shore.
