My dad once told me in the car:
“You’re either an investor or an expense tracker. One is wealthy and the other one is always poor.”
I still think about this.
o3 and o4-mini are super good at coding, so we are releasing a new product, Codex CLI, to make them easier to use.
this is a coding agent that runs on your computer. it is fully open source and available today; we expect it to rapidly improve.
Build shit.
Sell shit.
Lead people.
If you can do one, you can make a lot of money.
If you can do two, you can make generational wealth.

Regret is believing a made up world where everything goes as you expect it and you’re happy.
And we know that isn’t true because you’ve already gotten things younger you expected and it didn’t make you happier.
It’s resenting the present for not being a world that isn’t true.
The fact that we find big goals admirable is the fact that they take so long to achieve.
We can’t resent the very thing that makes the goal worth pursuing.
