I like the finetuning aspect to it quite a lot. It makes sense to me. What I achieved now is a very streamlined process of autonomous work of an agent, which can more and more often be simply managed than controlled on a code review level basis for everything.
I agree that this level of finetuning feels overwhelming and might let yourself doubting whether you do utilize Claude to its optimum and the beauty is, that finetunging and macro usage don't interfere, when you stay in your lane.
For example I now don't use the planing agent anymore instead incorporated this process into the normal agents much to the project's advantage. Consistency is key. Anthropic did the right thing.
Codex is quite a different beast and comes from the opposite direction so to say.
I use both, Codex and Claude Opus especially, in my daily work and found them complementary not mutual exclusive. It is like two different evangelists who are on par exercising with different tools to achieve a goal, that both share.
Yeah, at a certainly level, it's just a ton of fun to do. I think that's why so many of us are playing with it.
It's also deeply interesting because it's essentially unsolved space. It's the same excitement as the beginning of the internet.
None of us know what the answers will be.
