So, if you code (including “Vibe Coding” if you must!) or are just a “fiddler” (like myself!) then you have no doubt used some sort of code editor.

Because I mostly live in a Microsoft world, Visual Studio (as of this recording, v 2022) has been my mainstay. But what about cross platform editors (and indeed IDEs - Integrated Development Environments)? and, given all of the choices around us, what about other vendors?

That is what we are talking about this time on JFM! :)

Oh yes, jumping on the band wagon again!

Open AI released a whole lot of updated models and so on last week. But one tool (in preview) jumped out. Open AI Codex CLI.

Now, from first impressions, this looks and feels a lot like Anthropic Claude Code that I looked at a few weeks back. But hey, everyone copies everyone right?

Anyway, it is more of a “technical” thing to use but you really don’t have to be super technical. It, like Claude Code, generated very clean code based on just a couple of prompts.

Anyway, take a listen for more :)

I have already burdened you with an episode about MCP. Now, I am digging into some actual code examples in dotnet (maybe I will try other languages later). What the heck is an MCP host? MCP client? MCP server?Well, take a listen to find out more!
