capy did better with half the cost and half the time
Garry Tan (@garrytan): Not really sure how @capydotai does it, but it really is able to track multi-step workflow and do large PRs faster than Codex or Claude Code on its own. My most favorite new agentic coding secret weapon in my arsenal the last week.
