The Breakpoint [2025-10-14] - Using coding agents in prod
Meow world, welcome back to The Breakpoint, a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.
The latest
Recent dev-first products launched on the site.
@Layercode CLI helps you quickly build, test, and deploy voice AI agents straight from your terminal
@Netlify responded to @v0 by Vercel by integrating agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini into your dashboard
@Rately helps you set custom rate limits by IP, user ID, API key, or any parameter, i.e. rate limiting as a service
@QA.tech launched a swarm of QA agents that explore your product like real users
@TimeFly Dev is an elegant coding activity tracker that lives in your IDE
How do you use coding agents in prod?

There's definitely no AI model that rules 'em all. @dctanner recently shared their lessons learned and best practices mixing both Claude Code and Codex in a production environment. It's definitely inspiring.
TL,DR:
As of GPT5, Codex is succeeding in tasks more often than Claude.
Every task they write now has an AI Level.
You can often do 2-3 parallel AI-first tasks at a time, reviewing one whilst the other is responding.

All great. I think the next level in AI coding is this: Connect smart logging (truncated logs) to your AI agent via MCP. And watch the AI agent work for hours on even super hard problems, and find the best solutions. Even works one inexpensive LLMs.
next level!
Great roundup! It’s exciting to see more tools focusing on specialized AI agents. We’re building ActlysAI - a platform that lets you easily create and customize agents for different tasks with integrations into Gmail, Sheets, Calendar, and other Google services. Would love to get some feedback from the dev community :)
@mreksar neat product, looking forward to your launch
Layercode
Thanks for the shoutout here @fmerian !
We really are living in a brave new world for developer productivity. As the least technical founder on our team, I've learnt a ton from @dctanner and our product team's Claude Code and Codex usage.
@aidanhornsby eager to read more threads like this! keep up the great work
