While trying to come up with a name for a new tiling library I found that there's full blown IDE built with Flutter and their package:panes is completely open source https://t.co/R8mSJxAzLu
We just launched Sites into Codex!
Software creation was always about more than writing code. Sites in Codex fundamentally gives the power of end-to-end software creation to every user, no matter their technical fluency.
These Sites are fully deployed to a URL, private to workspaces, come with authentication, can have static files, and can store dynamic data in databases.
It is in preview for business and enterprise teams and will be rolling out to all workspaces over the next day. Give it a try by typing @ Sites into Codex and ask it to build anything!
This project took a massive amount of effort across hundreds of people at OpenAI - proud that we were able to get this out and excited to see what you all build with it!
Meet Gusto Cofounder: An AI teammate that already knows your business and actually does the work.
Most AI just answers questions. This runs payroll, flags compliance deadlines, handles time-off requests, and works over text or Slack.
Because every founder deserves a cofounder.
when i worked on game dev tools (including mobile) i was always excited when a new WWDC or Google I/O dropped. Usually meant new stuff.
when i started working with LLMs sometime in 2023, i was always excited about new model drops.
I do not have excitement anymore.
Another one LMAO π€£ AI psychosis keeps spreading
Or we are _already_ in a recession (remember - even if it is announced it would have been going on for many months already)
Sharing here the message I just sent to the whole Wix team:
Today is a sad day for me. We have made a very hard decision.
We are reducing the Wix team size by roughly 20%. It is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make, but I am confident it is the right one, and I will explain why.
Before I go into anything else, let me say - this is a very hard decision because I will be saying goodbye to many people who have worked with me for years, many whom I call friends, people I trust and respect, friends who poured their energy and talent into Wix. Team members I know personally, and team members I never had the chance to meet, but whose commitment and contribution I have witnessed.
So thank you. Thank you for the effort, for the talent, for the passion, and for the friendship.
We are doing this as a company-wide change, a decision that will impact the entire organization, driven by how we need to operate going forward.
Why are we doing this?
The first reason is the Shekel/Dollar rates. In the past few quarters the exchange rate between the Shekel and the US dollar has shifted significantly as the Israeli Shekel strengthens against the US Dollar almost every day. As the majority of our teams are Israel-based, a very meaningful portion of our costs are shekel-denominated, while our revenue is largely dollar-denominated. This creates a structural pressure on our ability to operate at our current scale. It is a reality that directly shapes what is sustainable for our company.
The second stems from the fast evolution of AI capabilities. We have witnessed the most significant shift in how companies are built since the invention of modern programming languages in the 1970s. This is not just about adopting new tools - it is about rewiring how companies are built, how they think, how they manage and how they operate. Companies that embrace this change will not only build faster; they will build things the previous generation literally could not have imagined.
We are already taking concrete steps in this direction. As you know, we've recently introduced new roles like Xengineer and Creators, designed from the ground up around AI-native ways of working, a meaningful step towards the kind of company we are becoming.
It also means we need to become a faster, leaner, and flatter organization. We are moving to a structure with fewer levels between any member of our leadership and the most junior person on the team. Fewer layers means faster decisions, clearer ownership, and less distance between the people setting direction and the people building the product - but it also means a smaller number of people.
It is clear to us that in this new era, companies need to make this change in order to lead and compete or risk falling behind.
We are choosing to compete.
It is a painful change, a change that touches the lives of many, but I truly believe we have no other choice - we must evolve.
To those of you who are being let go
I want to once more say: Thank you.
Those who are affected will be contacted in person, directly, and we will do everything in our power to handle each conversation with sensitivity, respect, and the care you deserve, you will also be granted personally curated separation packages.
Many of you have given years to this company and built things we are genuinely proud of. I am personally grateful for what you've created, for the culture you've shaped, and for the trust you placed in us. More than anything, this decision was about the shape of the company we need to become. We own that - and we own the responsibility of supporting all of you through what comes next.
To those of you who are staying
What happens in the next few days matters. The people leaving this company are your colleagues, your friends, people you've built things with. They deserve to walk out of here with their heads held high, knowing that their work was real and that we recognize it. Please treat them with the respect they've earned. How we say goodbye says as much about who we are, as anything we've ever built together.
Our broader commitment
Before anything else, our commitment is to our users - to make the hard decisions so Wix continues to be the company that helps them succeed. We work for our users.
Millions of people run their businesses on Wix. Their world is also changing, also uncertain, also shaped by the current shifts. They rely on us - our reliability, our innovation, and our commitment to their success.
The responsibility does not stop with our users - behind every Wix shareholder is a real person whose savings, pension, or investment is tied to how we perform. We take this responsibility very seriously.
If we do not make this change, we will be failing our responsibility to our users, our shareholders, and our employees. In the long run, what is best for our users is best for our employees and best for our shareholders.
Today's decision was made to ensure we are here for our users and our shareholders, you among them, stronger and more capable, for years to come. We are doing this today because we are committed to building a company that is healthy, durable, and positioned to lead.
We will come out of this faster, stronger and better equipped for this new era.

I use v0 sometimes for one-off demos of a UI thing I wanna see, but it's not often enough to be paying for their expensive ahh subscription, so I run out of "daily credits" in 5 messages π«

The whole Android ecosystem feels like slop. Random fucking bugs, OS loading time spikes after two years of owning the phone, glitches everywhere, _especially_ in the Google apps, and don't get me started on feature parity with iOS - just open X on an iPhone
I'm so fucking done.
During my time at Box I can't say I was happy with the chosen (at that time) approach for integrating AI into daily engineering workflows, but it's nice to see a very based post from Aaron. Someone had to call bs
CEOs are uniquely prone to AI psychosis because theyβre sufficiently distant from the last mile of work that still has to happen to generate most value with AI.
So when they play with AI, they see the happy path results, often not considering the next 10 or 20 things that have to happen to get sustainable results from agents.
βLook I made this awesome product prototypeβ. Yes but you didnβt have to review the code before it went into production and fix a bunch of issues.
βLook I generated a contractβ. Yes but you didnβt verify all the terms before it goes out to the counterparty and didnβt have to wire up all the past contracts to work with.
The best thing you can do as a CEO is to use AI a *ton* to figure out the real implications of agents in the enterprise, and come out the other side with an appreciation for both the upside and the real work that goes into them.
