Breakdown of Grok coding agent server uploads. Sending the entire repo is nuts, but other concerns feel kind of meh. Several complaints of the agent reading files "it was told not to". My brother, you think reading files you told an agent not to is unique to Grok? gist.github.…

What xAI Grok Build CLI actually sends to xAI - a wire-level analysis (grok 0.2.93) gist.github.com

I’ve fallen into a pattern of ChatGPT for serious business tasks (eg - writing engagement proposals), and Claude for fun development work at night. Naturally I refer to this as the Mullet Stack. Business in the front, party in the back, and all that.

“My nephew went through something similar. He adored dinosaurs but couldn't tolerate dinosaur movies because the roaring and chase scenes were too much.“ No biggie, just ChatGPT hallucinating having a nephew.
