I gave Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor the same memory, and stopped repeating myself

The author of a series of reports has been testing AI tools, including Claude, Codex, and Cursor, by giving them the same memory and avoiding repetition. They have been bouncing between different AI tools for a long time, and this has become a normal part of their workflow, according to XDA Developers.

The author tested Claude by assigning it different senior engineering roles, including full-stack engineer, debugging engineer, frontend engineer, and performance engineer, reports Tom's Guide. Claude reviewed an expense tracker app four times, each time concentrating on a different set of problems and occasionally finding issues that the previous "developer" had missed.

According to Dev.to, the author also measured the cost of installing 107 skills, 38 agents, and 15 commands into Claude Code, which was 9,857 tokens. This cost is paid for every session, even if the skills are not used. Techmeme reports that Anthropic will permanently raise weekly Claude Code limits by 25% on September 14 for most plans.

Trust Boundaries in AI Coding's Free Servers

Every AI coding tool that offers a free server is quietly moving your trust boundary to a machine you don't control. I've spent the last few weeks mapping where my data actually travels in these…

How I built an AI planning tribunal in a weekend by orchestrating AI agents

I spent this weekend building Setback for Google's All Things Agentic Hackathon: a tool that turns a resident's plain-language objection to a nearby development application into a real, legally-relevant council submission, and just as importantly, honestly refuses the parts that aren't.

  • Developed AI-powered planning tribunal tool called Setback for Google's hackathon
  • AI agents orchestrated multi-agent workflow to process objections against statutory factors
  • Identified critical bugs only during deployed, end-to-end run requiring infrastructure testing
