What's your current git management process within the Codex App?
I'm just not finding a cohesive and intuitive workflow here... it's incredibly frustrating.
It feels very manual.
- It should allow me to merge/squash from the app
- It should allow local main to be auto updated to the latest changes
- It should allow for deleting archived branches ( it does for worktrees, just not branches )
Take a look at how Conductor does it... it's perfect. Cursor is there too and no doubt the new Github Copilot App will too ( looks like they are copying Conductors approach )

I love thoughtful design details like this. cc @nabeel

@VasZhovner @meetgranola @cjpedregal @samstphenson @idevelop Thanks for helping build something wonderful, and nostalgic vibes in that photo for sure!

Today I'm officially moving from CTO to Advisor at @meetgranola.
That's my favorite picture of @cjpedregal, @samstphenson, @idevelop, and me in our Shoreditch office back in 2023, the entire company at the time. From that small cozy room to where Granola is now, what a journey.
Excited to welcome @NikolaOtasevic as the new CTO. He comes from a Director of Engineering role at Meta and brings a lot of experience scaling teams. Honestly couldn't ask for a better person to take this on.
I'm taking some time off to explore what comes next. No plan yet, which is kind of the whole point.

@mcpark @rileybrown For certain kinds of information, Twitter is months and months behind SF, and it literally never hits Linkedin.
And that's kind of the point, if you want the "full picture" then you need all of it to be able to make sense of it for yourself.
English
@nabeel @rileybrown But surely you’d admit that Twitter is weeks ahead of LinkedIn and a few days behind SF
English
Proximity to SF doesn't matter if you use Twitter Correctly.
X.com is 2 months ahead of SV/founders/eng
(if you curate your feed correctly and are in the right group chats)

@nabeel I’d also love an in depth analysis on where exploitation fits in. Many could claim social media is rooted in attention exploitation. Onlyfans is sexual exploitation. Polymarket is financial exploitation.
Of course there is also legit healthy demand for these services as well.
English
Ok I’ll get people to hate me for this one now…
I think it’s a very valid, important conversation to compare what “making money” means vs “earning money”.
I don’t think there is a simple answer and people are picking sides like it’s a team sport.
What’s your take?
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning. Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale. Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model. Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole. Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.
English
True True.
The real counter to what I said:
Yes she understands non-zero sum thinking -- but she has a much bigger mission she is after which is holding the many in crony capitalism who DO exploit to account and rallying America to make the stakes more fair. So she has to make clean simplfied arguments becuase "it depends" doesnt exactly move a country.
English
@nabeel I agree.
But I think it’s still a useful interesting convo. In this scenario I agree, but I think most people disengage from important conversations because we assume intent matters more than the core topic.
English
Zero sum thinking is terrible way to live.
So a person making something new in the world will NEVER increases the overall wealth and prosperity of the world? It is always taking from others somehow?
How did our GDP grow? Ever?
Sometimes people make new things, and the pie grows, sometimes enourmously.

Paul Graham@paulg
Sure you can earn a billion dollars. I've been teaching people how to do it for 20 years. The way you do it is to start a company that grows fast. You don't have to do anything bad to make a company grow fast. You just have to make something people want. paulgraham.com/ace.html

I so clearly remember coming into office hours with @aaron_epstein in the middle of the batch, really down because we kept thrashing on what to build.
He told us to put up a photo on the wall of our faces with the text "Make something these guys want."
And that's what we did!

Conductor (@conductor_build) is a Mac app that lets you run multiple coding agents at the same time. Create an isolated copy of your codebase in one click, tell Claude or Codex to go work, and review and merge the results. The company just raised a $22 million Series A, and today is launching Conductor Cloud, which lets agents keep working even after you close your laptop. In this episode of Founder Firesides, co-founders @charlieholtz and @jacksondecampos sat down with YC's @aaron_epstein to talk about cycling through a dozen ideas before landing on the one that stuck, how building dev tools for themselves led to Conductor, and what they've learned from watching the best engineers in the world work with coding agents every day.
English
It's possible not all software dev tasks are the same.
Sometimes you want a factory, you are making cars, and you clearly can define the optimal outcome and it's all systems engineering.
Sometimes you are designing the car, there isn't a clear outcome defined yet, and you are in flow iterating on the design.
Would be great if a UX understood that and gave you options that respects that. Which @conductor_build does.
English
No shade on Charlie but this philosophical difference is why I stopped used Conductor.
Steering is an anti pattern. The factory is the future, and in the factory, humans will not be allowed inside.
Charlie Holtz@charlieholtz
@thorstenball Very curious why queue default and not steer - to me, steering feels like the future. It’s the same way you interact with a human. You can expect an intelligent being to digest what you’re saying and act on it when you’re ready, I would think?

Today @sparkcapital is co-leading the $100m seed in @radixark with @Accel and partnering alongside many of our other friends across the venture community:
A bet on @ying11231 , @BanghuaZ, and the @lmsysorg , @sgl_project community, and on the idea that open infrastructure is how the next era of AI gets built.
RadixArk@radixark
Today, we are thrilled to officially launch RadixArk with $100M in Seed funding at a $400M valuation. The round was led by @Accel and co-led by @sparkcapital. RadixArk exists to make frontier AI infrastructure open and accessible to everyone. Today, the systems behind the most capable AI models are concentrated in a small number of companies. As a result, most AI teams are forced to rebuild training and inference stacks from scratch, duplicating the same infrastructure work instead of focusing on new models, products, and ideas. RadixArk was founded to change that. We are building an AI platform that makes it easier for teams to train and serve the best models at scale. RadixArk comes from the open-source community. We started with SGLang, where many of us are core developers and maintainers, and expanded our work to Miles for large-scale RL and post-training. We will continue contributing to both projects and working with the community to make them the strongest open-source infrastructure foundations for frontier AI. We would like to thank our long-term partners, contributors, and the broader SGLang community for believing in this mission. We're also grateful to @Accel and @sparkcapital, NVentures (Venture capital arm of @nvidia), Salience Capital, A&E Investment, @HOFCapital, @walden_catalyst, @AMD, LDVP, WTT Fubon Family, @MediaTek, Vocal Ventures, @Sky9Capital and our angel investors @ibab, @LipBuTan1, Hock Tan, @johnschulman2, @soumithchintala, @lilianweng, @oliveur, @Thom_Wolf, @LiamFedus, @robertnishihara, @ericzelikman, @OfficialLoganK, and @multiply_matrix among others. Thanks for the exclusive interview with @MeghanBobrowsky at @WSJ about our vision.

@NadimHossain the only good thing about it i that the person announcing is not a person that is going to that school.
so they are ostensibly cheering for their classmates. everything else about this is bad for all of us.

@pandemona What I love is it's using AI to humanize, while if you did some default AI thing like "AI voices" or whatever it's 1000x worse.

@nabeel it's great, it adds such a human(!) element to the stories!

I am not exaggerating this is the most loaded CBB team we’ve ever seen in our lives
They might not have a superstar but they have 11 guys who would be the best player on 90% of CBB teams
- Boozer
- Blackwell
- Foster
- Sarr
- Ngongba
- 5 ⭐️ Williams
- 5 ⭐️ Rippey
- 5 ⭐️ Howard
- 5 ⭐️ Boumtje
- Scharnowski (top 30 transfer)
- 4 ⭐️ Meyer
That’s an absolute joke

@iamtapi Saunas - slightly uncomfortable the first time, rapidly relaxing afterward, and always doing an awful lot of good stuff you can't see
English
When someone starts a sentence with sauna does a lot of complicated stuff in the backend. You never know if it’s an agent or longevity talk
Nabeel Hyatt@nabeel
Sauna does a lot of complicated stuff on the backend. For me one simple result has stood out: It's the first AI agent i've used that actually writes an email/slack/sms the way i would, for the person i'm sending it to. Took a few turns at first. But it just learned and now nails it every time. Give it a shot for a few days, watch it learn.
