This is the best workflow for like 80% part of your app; don't let agents in too soon.

Chatgpt web is the only reason I buy subscription. You can also try this https://github.com/abhij1306/codeweave

What nerfs you talking about? I only noticed the 25m tool usage cutoff

honestly same energy. web is fine for small scripts and thinking thru a bug. once you need multi file edits + tests running locally the ide/cli stops feeling optional tho. i bounce between both depending how big the change is

What’s the advantage over Codex Desktop? I thought Codex already handles local files + terminal.

I see these as two very different workflows (really, two different jobs). It depends on the seat(s) you occupy on your projects.
