Same. Once in a while I end up on a screen share with someone and see that they have all these odd sized windows and they try to drag them around and resize them - drives me crazy!
I just found out today that hovering over the green traffic light icon shows an arrange menu... but the "maximize" option there leaves some padding on all sides of the window - weird.
I swear by https://rectangleapp.com/ - same outcome but with keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse.
I use https://rectangleapp.com which has been a lifesaver. I only use the following three shortcuts and disable the rest:
cmd+option+f = maximize to fill entire screen
cmd+option+ctrl+left/right = move window to other monitor on left/right
I occasionally use cmd+option+left/right if I need to have two windows side-by-side on the same monitor.
MacOS window sizes have always felt weird to me - no easy way to maximize without making it go into full screen mode.
As I was writing this, I just realized that hovering on the green traffic light shows a menu to choose some window placement options.... not sure how I never realized this before, but even the "maximize" option there doesn't go all the way to the edges - weird.
The one time I was impressed with codex was when I was adding translations in a bunch of languages for a business document generation service. I used claude to do the initial work and cross checked with codex.
The codex agent ran for a long time and created and executed a bunch of python scripts (according to the output thinking text) to compare the translations and found a number of possible issues. I am not sure where the scripts were stored or executed, our project doesn't use python.
Then I fed the output of the issues codex found to claude for a second "opinion". Claude said that the feedback was obviously from someone that knew the native language very well and agreed with all the feedback.
I was really surprised at how long Codex was thinking and analyzing - probably 10 minutes. (This was ~1+mo ago, I don't recall exactly what model)
Claude is pretty decent IMO - amp code is better, but seems to burn through money pretty quick.
Same here. I lived there 30 years ago, and my one speeding ticket in TN shows up first. I've had 2 or 3 "rolling stop sign" tickets in CA and can not find them.

No, it’s one of those things I’ve tested myself extensively and arrived at my own conclusion. Which I already mentioned in the comment you responded to.
The performance talk is about ghostty, which you did not mention trying. You mention alacritty, which is GPU based and offers good performance, but you're quick to rebuttal on unrelated projects.
