Do people like this? We don't do this for codex because it exists to help you and it's important that you remain the owner and accountable for your work without AI taking credit. At the same time it does mean that you can't trace how popular codex is among repos.

I noticed something interesting: Claude Code auto-adds itself as a co-author on every git commit. Codex doesn’t. That’s why you see Claude everywhere on GitHub, but not Codex. I wonder why OpenAI is not doing that. Feels like an obvious branding strategy OpenAI is skipping.

I have no doubt that this approach can build a lot of code in on ego. But that's not what I'm after.
I do believe that the approach works for relatively straight forward tasks in a single lane. That idea is also supported by OpenAI docs too ( developers.openai.com/codex/learn/be… )
But when you build past a certain point (past a single feature) - like, - add a UI control panel to the proxy, and a backend, user management, - that thread is going to start falling to pieces.
If you have a scoped task, this approach works, but it's not a magic pill how to "10x your productivity"

@pyronaur accidentally did what he’s describing using opus46 1m with max effort. he’s not wrong. but i don’t have a video to give you. instead use time crunching as a proxy for what’s possible. the apps are only trivial if you don’t feed them a couple existing repos before they begin.

I tried this approach, it's a good idea in spirit, but unless I see a video of this actually be demonstrated to lift a significant amount of weight, I'm not a believer.
There's definitely good ideas to learn here, but after a couple compactions, codex just needs a reset and cooldown.
Doing this suffers from the same problems as any other long-context task:
- codex gets distracted and scattered (not traits you want your manager to have)
- it'll happily move forward with anything, until you start challenging - then codex will get jumpy, second guess every decision, not only the specific task at hand
- I could go on, and I probably will in an actual article I think 😄

@iannuttall it makes sense - since AI in a constant hype cycle, whereas people actually interested in in building things and the process are fewer.
Unfortunately - I'm interested in both AI and Builders, and still haven't cracked how to make X show me less hype and more content like this.

one thing i noticed in the last month building keep.md is that my impressions and follows on here are WAY lower than when i was posting tips/workflows on using ai
build in public type content doesn't seem to do as well now as one-shotting ui or running 100 parallel agents hooked up to linear
on the other hand, keep mrr > x ad revenue, sooo...
English
I think I'm going to get into content creation...
The world of AI is so full of hype that it sometimes is just impossible to keep track what's real and what's not.
Everyone's building agent orchestrators, agentic companies, agentic tools, but I can't find anyone that's actually explaining what actually works and showing what they actually build with it.
The real builders just quietly chip away at their tasks one by one...
That's not to say orchestration doesn't work, or that the real builders are at the forefront - but I think there's a wide gap between the two that needs exploring...
English
In the age of AI - copying an interface is easy.
"Steal like an artist" need not apply, just ask your agent to build X + 1 idea.
We're building faster than ever, and thinking less than ever.

@leerob i have a Q: is this true? and why was it not disclosed?

was messing with the OpenAI base URL in Cursor and caught this accounts/anysphere/models/kimi-k2p5-rl-0317-s515-fast so composer 2 is just Kimi K2.5 with RL at least rename the model ID
English
Should I do a live stream tomorrow to talk about Composer 2 and new Cursor updates? Lmk what questions I can answer or demos to show.
English
It was a bad call.
I don't know if it's me, but I'm getting these more and more often from Codex 5.4 these days.
English
@plainionist Honestly, AI writes better code than many "senior devs" I've seen.
Logic problems though, different issue.
English
@JudasPhiGates88 Yeah. Still seems kind of crazy that I would see this pattern amongst developers....
English
@pyronaur The devs who survive phase shifts stay curious about new tooling while keeping judgment about first principles. Rigidity kills positioning faster than any external change ever could.
English
There's an old type of dev.
They don't get young folk humor because they are set in their ways. They think they know the right way just because programming didn't really change for many years.
I don't get 67, but embrace the change.
The world is changing, like it or not.

There's a new type of dev. They don't get dev humor because they only know vibe coding. And they think they are experts because they have the latest .md files from wherever. Insufferable.
English
btw, Jon, if you're reading this, I don't disagree with anything you said, I just found the contrast funny, and when I thought of "young folk", well....this tweet wrote itself 😂

It's so frustrating how GPT-5.4 sprints away and writes tons of code that massively overcomplicates a simple bug fix or UI tweak :(

This is worth your time:

Installed TDD skill with in codex with the skill-installer skill in a few seconds and actually got Codex to follow TDD.
Thanks @mattpocockuk !

I ported Xcode MCP to a CLI
Just need to create a skill for it and I can get rid of yet another MCP in my life.
The added benefit is that I'll no longer have to deal with this message every time codex spawns an agent.
