@seraleev Took me about two weeks to get used to it.

@seraleev True

@_brian_johnson For sure. I learnt this the hard way.

If you're using Codex and Git, just remember Git will only back up or make a copy of your code. It won't backup data in your app. So if you have customer data or other valuable data inside your app, ask Codex to backup it up and tell it where the backup should go.

Here's how I avoid these:

- Don't use GPT 5.5 to start a design
- Always use an image reference or site url
- Never prompt without a taste skill or DESIGN.md
- Set up design rules in AGENTS.md
- Get familiar with their names so you can change them

@theaaron I hadn't touched codex for two weeks and I went back to it today, and it seemed all the work we did on a particular branch had just disappeared. Lucky it found it in a git stash and restored it, so be careful out there.

@figma When I used it about two weeks ago, it pulled up a decent result. But on close inspection, it didn't pass any contrast tests. Is there a way to get it to test contrast with instructions. Also, auto layout was way off and didn't use enough auto layout frames.

[Ian Mackenzie @CustomerPath]

@MengTo Yes

@KatieM606 @canva Same here. Mine is on hold. I think ill cancel.

One of the best lessons I’ve learned is that velocity compounds. Trust breeds speed. Speed fuels momentum. Momentum earns trust. Keep the loop tight.

@kaitlancollins @BarakRavid Are we really believing this? I mean, I don't know what to believe coming out of this White House and I get the impression they want us to know this. So it benefits them. And probably leaked by then.

@camsoft2000 @PaulSolt Does this get updated automatically in the iOS and Mac codex plugin?

[Ian Mackenzie @CustomerPath]

@cats_juice Can I record from an iOS device?

[Ian Mackenzie @CustomerPath]

@rileybrown I’m surprised someone like you, into automation, is not using @superwhisper instead.

[Rourke McNamara @rourkem]

@Taniyatweets_ writing code by hand won't be useful for long. being able to understand *how* code is written and how it works will be, though. and engineering as a skill is still wildly important to steer things in the right direction, prompt properly, etc

taste, though, is the real thing
