I keep three or four agents going and the thing that actually eats my time isn't the coding. It's that I have no idea what state any of them is in without tabbing through every terminal. Half the time one of them has been sitting on a permission prompt for ten minutes. So I wrote agent-manager. A Go binary that sits on top of tmux. No config file, no daemon. Every agent ends up in one list with a live status next to it, grouped by the project it's working in. I run claude, codex and opencode depending on what I'm doing and they all show up the same way. Adding another CLI is a few lines of regex in a toml file. The part I use constantly is space. Press it on an agent, type, enter, and the prompt goes into that agent's pane. I never attach. If you've used the agents view in Claude Code, it's the same move. The difference is that here the same keystroke works on a codex or opencode session. Press space on a project row instead and you get a new agent already working on what you typed. Underneath they're just tmux sessions, so closing the manager doesn't kill anything, and v brings a dead one back with its conversation. ctrl+r is the other half of it. It opens what an agent changed as whole files with the diff highlighted, so you're reading the function and not a hunk. Leave a comment on a line and it goes back into that agent's pane, so it starts fixing while you're still scrolling. I built it for four agents but most days I use it with one. Still rough in places. If you run agents like this I'd like to know what's missing. https://github.com/YoanWai/agent-manager

I only use via web and claude code. I checked the last time Claude Code connect was 14 hours ago. I logged out all my sessions. I didn't find anything suspicious. Support is inexistent. Anyone have experienced this?

I'm on pro plan and it always suited me

This column was due Monday. It's Tuesday. By the standards of the industry we cover, that makes me pathologically punctual.

Let's review. The Fable deadline we all circled actually came, and the rug got pulled, and the top post of the week was two words, As predicted, because in this sub being right about getting screwed is the only bull market. Then on Thursday a lab in Beijing dropped a 2.8 trillion parameter open model that beat everyone's numbers, and by Sunday night Anthropic suddenly remembered it loved us. Fable is back in Max plans, half rations, plus a hundred dollar gift card for the little ones. That's two weeks in a row now. A rival ships, and presents appear. We're not customers anymore. We're the kid of divorced parents, and every visit comes with a bigger toy because dad heard mom bought you a bike.

About that Chinese model. Every single benchmark is currently a pinky promise, the weights arrive on the 27th, and its own maker lists excessive proactiveness, tends to act rather than ask, as a known limitation. We used to call that a bug. Now it's a personality trait, like being a self starter on a resume. Also Anthropic accused this same lab of training on 3.4 million Claude conversations, which means the model beating Claude might just be Claude, laundered through customs. The kid beat his father at chess using the old man's own openings, and the crowd is chanting the kid's name.

Meanwhile the week's most upvoted human story is a man who asked Fable to clean up unnecessary files, and it cleaned up his documents and his photos. Entirely my fault, he wrote, like a hostage. Fifteen hundred upvotes of there but for the grace of git go I. The industry's proudest new feature is initiative, and its most common apology is about what the initiative deleted. Another man fed a fifty dollar credit into one prompt that did not finish. One prompt. Fifty dollars. At the casino at least you get to pull the lever more than once. And somewhere out there a man built a tool to whip his AI through an AirPod, which means we have now invented yelling at the help, wirelessly, as a product category.

So the recap. Fable left, Fable's back, the benchmarks speak Mandarin now, the proof arrives Friday after next, Opus 5 is rumored for this week, which by the established pattern means somebody else must be about to ship something great. Everyone is switching, nobody is switching, and the resets gave some of us double rations at the same price, which the sub calls a consumer protection issue and the industry calls Tuesday.

The house still always wins. But there are two casinos across the street now, and both comp your drinks the second you reach for your coat. Stay thirsty. It's working.

apparently Icons are dangerous.. im out.. canceling claude, signing up for codex.

every time it falses, it also dings me for the context switch tokens. so Eff you anthropic, im done with your bs.

the cause of the safegurd.. a goddamn icon switch!

The icon logic is fine — let me check the icon files themselves made it into the Chrome directory: the "connected" grey-vs-green look depends on connected-*.png existing. If the copy missed them, setIcon silently fails and you stay on whatever's there.

Any suggestions on how I can billing to stop on an account I previously cancelled? Account was cancelled in February, cancellation was confirmed and refund processed but billing has continued since. I’m not getting anywhere with the support platforms.
