    claude code feels mildly shitty to use in the way that every other vibe-coded-project-got-out-of-hand project does, which is like, not that bad, but it's fucking ridiculous for a 2 trillion dollar company's main companion product

      Claude Code (CLI) has been really bad with handling window resizing and layout changes. For long sessions, it will freeze while redrawing. On an M3 Max. With 64 GB or memory. Codex CLI does not have this problem, nor does OpenCode. Every time I split the pane, I'm dumbfounded by how bad this is.
