I’ve been using Codex from my phone for the past couple of months (through a tunnel, not this app).

I was initially quite excited, but I’ve found the results are less than great compared to being at a keyboard.

Something about the smaller screen size and/or lack of keyboard causes me to direct the agent less, which in turn creates more tech debt/code churn/etc.

Maybe I’m just showing my age, and I should practice voice dictation or something more, but my thoughts flow faster and more clearly on a keyboard (less ums).

the ums are exactly the sign that you speak much faster than you type, so you need a pause for your thoughts to catch up

I'm not sure I follow, you develop code on a remote machine by speaking to your phone and are unimpressed by the result?

I've been trying voxtype (using whisper models) lately, and to my surprise all my ums are filtered out. It's really good now actually!
