OpenAI Codex CLI
βDaily driver since ~Oct 2025: 3β8 parallel instances in a terminal grid, all in one folder on main, atomic commits per agent. Calls GPT-5-codex "a great compromise of smart & speed."β
Claude Code
βHis main driver for most of 2025 ("Claude Code is My Computer"), always with --dangerously-skip-permissions. Founded the "Claude Code Anonymous" meetups before switching to Codex ~Oct 2025.β
OpenClaw
βHis own creation: the viral open-source personal agent (ex-Clawdbot/Moltbot), the most-starred repo in GitHub history β the project that took him to OpenAI in Feb 2026. Runs on Claude Opus.β
Cursor
βKept in the dock mainly for tab completion and GPT-5 code reviews β not his agent of choice.β
Ghostty
β"Nothing beats Ghostty" β the terminal where his whole multi-agent workflow lives.β
Wispr Flow
βVoice dictation for prompting β he talks to his agents instead of typing.β
VS Code
βSecondary only β for reading code, not writing it (its terminal is "too unstable" for agents).β
oracle
βHis own CLI that pipes files + context to GPT-5 Pro when the day-to-day agents get stuck.β
VibeTunnel
βHis browser-based terminal for steering coding agents from anywhere β built and dogfooded during his 2025 open-source tear.β
Peekaboo
βHis macOS CLI that lets agents take and analyze screenshots for GUI automation.β
CodexBar
βHis menu-bar app tracking Codex and Claude Code usage stats β ~19k stars.β
chrome-devtools-mcp
βThe one MCP he kept while declaring "almost all MCPs really should be CLIs" β "replaced Playwright as my go-to."β
TypeScript
βHis post-iOS default β the language of nearly everything he shipped in 2025.β
React
βReact with the React Compiler is his current UI layer.β
Tailwind CSS
βTailwind 4 for styling across his product stack.β
Tauri
βHis pick for desktop apps in the 2025 stack.β
Swift
βStill Swift for macOS tools (Peekaboo, CodexBar) β but via SwiftPM builds, avoiding Xcode. Ex-PSPDFKit founder, so this is home turf.β
Tailscale
βConnects him to a headless Mac Studio running agents remotely (with Jump Desktop).β
Axiom
βLogging for his projects β agents query it to debug production.β
