All on the same codebases and workspaces.

The switching cost is negligible.

It's incredible how effective these agent harnesses are and how minimal the lock-in is.

A mere 85 minutes of downtime for CC and my gc already talking about switching to Antigravity.

It's absolutely wild how vanilla OAI/Claude chats now feel so quaint.
