i got to use the codex app this past week and it's really good! easily 2x'd my codex usage. i think we underrate how much more accessible these tools get when you bring them into great interfaces. highly recommend.

welcome codex app! my favorite feature is how insanely simple woktrees are i have one worktree = one pr = one thread such a pleasantly ergonomic app; clearly made by people who've used billions of codex tokens

why can't this just be part of the Mac app? like how Claude is structured? they're beginning to have too many separate tools, talk about distractions

the codex app is really good, try it out. i've been a die-hard terminal / emacs user for many years, but since using the codex app, going back to the terminal has felt like going back in time. feels like an agent-native interface for building.

Codex is writing all my code these days, and I've fully switched to using the Codex app. The velocity of the Codex team is really impressive.

I got early access to the Codex app and have been using it for a little while, and it's really really clean. Very much enjoying it so far! Helps tame the proliferation of Ghostty tabs. And it has worktrees built in 👀 [image]

I am Tibo and I have an incredible team. Codex would not exist without them and they cooked. Enjoy the new Codex app, access through your free/go ChatGPT plan and 2X rate limits on other plans. Can't wait to hear what you do with it. https://openai.com/codex/ [image]

@OpenAI ... After quick testing, the app feels very solid, the ui is very nice and good amount of controls. It pulled my design doc from Linear, and understood its task. It made a good plan, and then implemented the changes correctly. It's seems very good with visual changes. [im…

To celebrate the launch of the Codex app, we doubled all rate limits for paid plans for 2 months! And added access for free/go.

The biggest issue with the Codex app is how easy it is to create a PR. The automatic “open a PR” feature of agentic programming in general (not just Codex) is creating an insane amount of burden on open source (see 3 slopfests closed today in Ghostty's repo). Please, stop this.

I am sure we will figure out much better and more interesting ways to spend our time, and amazing new ways to be useful to each other, but I am feeling nostalgic for the present.

I am very excited about AI, but to go off-script for a minute: I built an app with Codex last week. It was very fun. Then I started asking it for ideas for new features and at least a couple of them were better than I was thinking of. I felt a little useless and it was sad.

Nothing shows what the #1 operating system for “modern” devs is than OpenAI launching Codex desktop, Mac-only (for now.) Windows really fumbled the dev market, years ago. Apple won it by avoiding the series of upsets Microsoft just could not help themselves (ads, MS account etc) …
