Sites are live in Codex for teams!

Let me know your feature requests and ideas! And if you build something cool or useful or fun, please share :)

We’ll be shipping improvements to it constantly over the coming weeks!

Also, we’re working hard to launch it to non-team plans ASAP!

@ineditrice The two most important tools to have as an EU resident

Unless you step on them.

@rickasaurus Based on our experience (n=1), having too many Legos is not dangerous.

[Ayman Farhat @aymanfarhat]

@borvibe That map has errors.

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

A lot of people are building with the assumption that the codebases we work in today will still matter next year.

I’m not sure if that’s the case.

@catalinmpit Hello from France 👋👋

@Jessica_Obeid I think it's a collective mindset problem. Mediocrity has become part of the culture, and maybe we should just accept and move on.

Gemini 3.5 flash so far looks more like a marketing push with benchmark gymnastics. Real world evals will tell.

@bhaidar A piece of advice for Python web apps, just use Django. Many set out starting with FastAPI for it's minimalism, but soon enough end up with a Frankenstein of libs and practices that Django conventions already do very well out of the box.

@EcZachly Feeling so nostalgic for the days when I used to optimise BigQuery for performance and cost.

You are allowed to live a life other people don't understand. A slow quiet life of meaning. A life where your nervous system is not constantly on fire. A life where your mind is clear. A life where you are no longer running away from yourself. A life where mornings are calm. Where you think deeply. A life that slows you down enough to hear your own heart again. A life built intentionally that expands what you already are. Because the older you get, the more you realize: real wealth is not status, attention, or endless stimulation. It’s having a calm mind. A quiet soul. And a life that actually feels like yours.

@theo Just use Codex.

Hot take: AI won’t cheapen human work. It’ll nuke the middle and split the market for thought in two.

🔻One side: infinite output. Drafts, code, decks, analysis, strategy docs. A teenager with Claude and Codex now ships what used to need a staffed team and three weeks of meetings.

🔺Other side: judgment. Knowing what’s true. What’s noise. What breaks at scale. What compounds. What’s a hallucination wrapped in confidence.

The first market is collapsing into abundance. The second is becoming a scarcity market.

When everyone can generate, the only thing that matters is taste, discernment, and the ability to say: “this is the one worth betting on.”

AI makes production cheap.
Conviction gets expensive.

@garrytan Socialist ideology is designed to point to a problem in every opportunity or innovation, without providing a practical solution to anything.

A lot about OpenAI can be understood by realizing that a lot of us believe that we can at the same time deeply care, do the best work of our lives AND have fun too. No goblins to see here.

@rohanvarma The annotation feature in the Codex desktop browser solved pretty much most of the frontend issues I've had. Its just 🔥🔥🔥

[Ayman Farhat @aymanfarhat]

Caffeine, Daft Punk and Codex. That's all I need to build.

[Ayman Farhat @aymanfarhat]

@ineditrice Flip a coin.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

The Codex App is now our most used surface, ahead of the VS Code extension and the CLI. No wonder it inspires a few others 👀

You can install it here https://t.co/Lwg13vEJDn + you get up to $500 in credits if you are getting started as a business or enterprise.
