@ben_ai_eng Keep it up Ben, here to learn from you 🤓😎👏🚀

A month ago I had ~400 followers. Today I crossed 500. The funny thing is the post that brought most of them wasn't about AI. It was about not being in San Francisco. Apparently a lot of people are trying to build from places nobody talks about. Interesting to think about. Appreciate everyone that is following along.

@paw_lean Happy birthday! 🥳 Brilliant video 🚀⭐️

I'm 30 today. Here's a short poem on some lessons that defined my decade. 🎈

@mark_k Always chrome, I'm already logged into everything there

Do you prefer using the built-in browser in Codex, or do you let it control your Chrome?

#mustwatch: @sama on Choosing Projects, Creating Value, and Finding Purpose youtu.be/uEl2KUZ3JWA?is… more prescient now than ever

for tons & tons of ppl the daily ritual of work used to begin by opening email, slack, teams, jira, etc while sipping coffee. but today it often begins by simply opening claude or codex (& they aren’t even great at proactive elements in these yet). that sounds like a small behavioral shift but when did the front door of a huge part of the economy change this quickly??

@itsjessyin @OpenAIDevs Incredibly well done, this was super fun 🙏

when something goes viral, you capture the moment. @OpenAIDevs billboards went viral this week and I helped them amplify the moment through a user-led strategy that turned making your own Codex billboard into a trend. submit yours and vote on yours favs! I also work with startups on activations and creating viral moments. dms open to work with me:)

Putting an AI agent inside your browser is backwards. In 2026, the better pattern is putting your browser inside the agent. Logged-in context, normal device, no shady 3rd party MCP, and no chrome extension that burns all your tokens from screenshotting everything it's trying to do. Now your agent can actually help with real tasks like LinkedIn research, screenshots, links, and structured notes. Browser-in-agent > agent-in-browser.

codex tip: ask codex to look at your past PRs/ sessions and update your global agents md with your developer workflow details branch naming conventions, commit messages, attribution, testing plan and more codex will get much faster turn around per requests

looks like gpt-5.6 won't be delayed after all 2 leaks in a day is not a coincidence

don't quit

"You look like you would be extremely good at ultimate frisbee" is a new compliment (i think? Fml) that i don't yet fully understand

When I was like 14-18ish ('01ish) i was extremely akward. Tennis in high school, and my big secret is i spent most of my time on the computer. Always felt a little socially akward, idk, probably in my head mostly, but... I was HUGE into IRC and rooting and botnets and ISOs and 0days and ASCII art and epic IRC scripts. DalNET, EFnet, Undernet, etc. Thankfully nothing more than a cease and desist but this time now with Vibecoding and codex reminds me a lot of that time. Probably because I get to dig into technical depth again, a passion i should have pursued professionally a long time ago. Never knew i absolutely loved this stuff. But ofc AI made it all feel like a game. I ran my middle school's IT stack for them, but kinda shrugged off doing it professionally. Seemed so dull. You live you learn! My advice for you: follow your passion, not the shiny object. You'll absolutely know it when you find it.

Pro tip: when building complex workflow skills with codex, prompt your agent to leave feedback in a dedicated file in tmp as it runs into workflow papercuts. It makes iteration a lot easier!
