Most of the time I don't pull external sources (a repo, files, etc.) onto my laptop. Maybe I've passed up some opportunities, but every company that hired me never asked me to install anything: they either used a known live-coding platform, or shared their private repo read-only so I could look without pulling it and then create my own repo to share back.

I also try to talk to people at the company, but I mean employees I can verify independently, not whoever the recruiter puts in front of me. From the stories here, the person on the call can be the scammer, so a convincing conversation isn't proof on its own.

Most of the time I use "cmd + x" to delete the whole line during coding. So ghost cut conflicts with my habit. I don't think it is a good habit but it is what I got used to. I've also seen people with the same habit. So it might be a good time to change my habit
Re:Ask HN: Claude Code or Codex? on Tuesday July 21, 2026 @02:06PM (#48995909)
I use Claude Max 5x

Although Codex and Claude seem to have the same price for similar plans, Claude's tokens run out much faster. But I can't complain about that because I get much better results. Especially when working with very complex systems, I don't need to repeatedly revise Claude's changes as much as Codex, so in some cases it might even be cheaper.

Also, in my experience, Claude tends to follow rules and instructions more consistently
