Codex is my favorite coding app right now.
It’s simple, but powerful enough to let me ship fast.
It’s responsive, clean, and never overwhelms me with too much context.
I didn’t think I’d move away from my usual setup.
But over time, Codex just became the easier option.
Now I use it for almost everything.
Codex has overtaken Claude Code in downloads.
TickerTrends shows the crossover on April 30, followed by accelerating share gains and a clear deceleration in Claude Code.
Latest weekly:

Anyway, I fixed it.
I built a tiny native app that lets you open any Markdown file on Mac.
> Just press Spacebar → instant clean preview
> Watch your AI agent write in real time
> Open your favorite Markdown editor to edit
Install once and literally forget it exists.
I wanted to stop working at 10 PM today.
Now it’s way past that, and I’m still here trying to fix things.
It’s not even about discipline anymore. It’s that weird night urge where your brain suddenly decides: “Let’s solve everything now.”
I know this is not sustainable, but stopping while something is unfinished feels harder than continuing.
Trying to learn how to close the laptop even when the problem is still open.
