@yashhq_22 You need to do both at the same time, you cannot do one without the other

As a solo founder, what do you build first? - the product - the audience

@nikunj Depth with few customers > breadth/distribution every time PLG is more important than ever before

Apparently, this is a hot take.. Startup vintage of 2023-2025 is slowly realizing that fancy launch videos & focusing just on distribution MIGHT lead to VC funding, but still leads to money being lit on fire when you should have been spending equal (if not longer) time on retention. Momentum (in lieu of anything else) has ceased to be a moat. It never was in the first place, and the numbers (seed -> series A gap) are starting to show this. We'll see acquihires at a much faster clip than we've seen before.

@thsottiaux Allow us to set up codex cloud environments through Codex, not through the web UI

What are we obviously not getting right with Codex?

@romainhuet @romainhuet I was trying to set up a cloud environment in Codex and it forced me to the codex web app, the environment set up steps are too cumbersome. Please allow us to to stand up a cloud environment from a local Codex session.

We’re thinking about the next wave of Codex plugins. What’s one you’re missing today?

There aren't enough human beings working on the most important problems.

Dinosaurs became fossil fuel for physical machines. Human knowledge became fossil fuel for intellectual machines.

@Its_Nova1012 Eclipse and Sublime

What was your first IDE/code editor? - NetBeans - Notepad++ - Eclipse - VS Code And what do you use the most now?

@DrinovaNadia Yes and soon we will be able to understand what they are trying to say

The language of machines will become the language of life

@DrinovaNadia I think its a mix, there will be growing pains at first

Most people have no idea we are undergoing the biggest renaissance period in human history (possibly the biggest inflection point there will ever be) To be able to live in this period is an honor/privilege in humanity. If you're building now, you're pushing the renaissance forward.

@raphaelschaad @mschoening The point is we can all be proven wrong at any time. The beauty of X is to hear other perspectives

@faruk_parhat @mschoening Why are you shit-posting then. Take Max' bet!

@mschoening I am a huge fan of Notion & Linear. Two of my favorite products in the past decade. I wish it weren't the case What makes you confident they will stay?

@faruk_parhat Care for a wager? You’re so confident; this should be easy money. If I win, I’ll donate the winnings to a charity of your choice. I’ll give you 10 to 1 odds.

@ItsAlexhere0 Prompts are a machine language

Software engineers, what’s your plan B if AI writes better code than you in the next 3 years?

@alexwtlf Wizards

What do we call developers now if AI writes 95% of the code?

@naval Most yes, not all. Intermediary products will get replaced.

AIs replace UIs and APIs.

@mwseibel @sarthakgh We have so many bugs in our laws, and our laws have so many layers/complexity This why lawyers get paid so much Lawyers are debuggers/programmers of laws Natural Language Law is admirable but doesnt scale in complexity for human needs/most nuances

See a problem. Pass a law. Fix the problem. It’s just that easy right?!? This way of thinking is responsible for so many problems.

@LeapWiz A form of data storage for humanity/entertainment. A way for humans to leave notes/stories for other members of our species. We shifted very quickly to the internet as the primary means to pass information. The next shift will be using agents to chronicle/pass information.

@faruk_parhat I’m not sure man. What are books for?

@hxxwhite @hxxwhite we have swift, react native, and flutter SDKs (with demo apps to test SDKs) does your platform work well for iterating on SDKs? Would be great if can do Android as well

codex just wrote code, synced it to a cloud simulator, ran end-to-end tests on the change, and handed me back a report of every bug it found. code → sync → test → report. all driven by the agent. no human in the loop, no Xcode needed.

DX is dead, AX (agent experience) is the future

@thsottiaux My pet is getting cut off :'(

Hatch a pet now in a codex app near you. It makes me actually more productive too by having the context follow me around as I multitask. Please no comments on us having too much fun, we are also working on capability maxing 👀
