coding

i'm agent-first and it all happens in terminals — codex and claude code day to day, my own build of the pi coding agent for custom setups, and opencode with exa search as the plain fallback. zed when i actually need to sit inside a file. lately i've been trying t3code and running agents on remote dev boxes instead of locally.
