Brief

AlexFinn lays out an "ultimate stack" allocating roles across models and tools: Codex for "vibe coding", Claude Code with Opus 4.8 for complex tasks and bug fixes, and Hermes Agent to orchestrate agents. Simple/repetitive work runs locally on a Mac Studio or DGX Spark, Linear manages tasks across agents, and "Lofi girl" provides vibes.
