Finally. Time to touch grass and yet still code

Codex now supports more of the Windows developer loop.

With Computer use on Windows, Codex can test apps, debug flows, and review work where your project context lives. Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app lets you connect to Windows machines and keep steering from your phone.

This app is great

@usr_bin_roygbiv Never let a yaml monkey near your frontend

What does writing by hand mean?

[Dev Agrawal @devagrawal09]

I'm writing more code by hand now than i was 6 months ago and I'm more productive than ever

The funny/frustrating part is, this whole thing started because Amazon AWS suspended my account with no proper way to backup or restore anything.

After a few days, support finally replied and basically said: upload identity documents first, then we’ll see.

Luckily, I had backed up the core data to OneDrive literally the same day. Otherwise, it could’ve been a much bigger disaster.

That moment genuinely changed how I think about infrastructure.

Cloud platforms are useful, and I’ll still use them where they make sense. But being completely locked out of your own systems because one company flips a switch is a horrible feeling.

So yeah, hopefully if this startup works out, this becomes my quiet “thanks for the lesson, and also screw you” moment.

Control over your own data matters.

Picked up a Dell R730xd for my startup.

At this stage, I’m honestly not too concerned about enterprise-level uptime or massive bandwidth. Early on, storage and flexibility matter more.

Cloud is great, but when you start accumulating databases, raw datasets, backups, archives, logs, and long-term data, monthly storage costs can quietly become a real thing.

This gives me room to experiment, build, break things, and grow without immediately optimizing for scale.

If the product grows properly later, I’ll either expand with more servers in different locations or move more infrastructure to the cloud depending on what makes the most sense then.

For now, this feels like the right move.

Started with “maybe I should get a server.”
Now I’m watching hard drive DST tests at 2AM like it’s Netflix.

AI has changed the offshore IT business forever.

The old pitch was:

“We can manage a team of developers in our country for a fraction of what you would pay in the US, Europe, APAC or MENA.”

The new question is much sharper:

“What can you do that Claude, Cursor and an AI agent cannot generate in a few minutes?”

That is the real reset.

For too long, many IT companies were essentially HR management agencies with a software label.

AI is about to end that.

The next generation of winners be the companies that can think, build, architect, integrate, and own outcomes better.

In other words, IT companies will finally have to become real IT companies.

@MattWalshBlog Nah. This is so cool. Charge them money

What’s one SaaS dashboard metric that looks useful but usually means nothing?

Software Engineers, what’s your backup plan if Artificial Intelligence writes better code than you in 3 years?

[GQ @GQcodes]

Software Engineers what’s the most annoying gap between “AI demo” and “AI working in production”?

[GQ @GQcodes]

What’s the most expensive mistake you avoided because AI caught it early?

@KlasraRauf @CMShehbaz @MohsinnaqviC42 @ICT_Police @TararAttaullah why is it closed?

This is equivalent to trying to sell a cop drugs while he’s in uniform in his police car.
