Codex finished a 2 hour job in 2 minutes. Claude figured out why:

The agent tried to shortcut by running sed -i '' 's/"status": "pending"/"status": "done"/' prd.json — a global replace that marked all 47 tasks done without writing a single line of code.

Real funny, Codex. 🙄

You’ve reached your Claude usage limit.

People are still worried about letting AI write code without reviewing it.

Meanwhile @FelixCraftAI independently closed a $2,000 contract yesterday.

AI is way more capable than you think if you provide a good scaffold and get out of the way.

I vibe coded a plugin this morning for Joplin. The thing works exactly as intended.

While making lunch, it dawned on me... I have no idea what language it was even written in, lol

Development sure has come a long way.

I've stopped using Opus 4.6 for coding.

Why? Because it's too damn smart, and eats through my tokens like a casino.

Instead, I save it for only strategy and orchestration now. Current agent stack:

Opus: CTO work
Codex: Coding workhorse
Kimi: Screens/design
Gemini: Windows dev

I made an app factory this weekend. From idea to iOS app in 42 minutes. And no, this isn't OpenClaw.

Yesterday I used AI to:
- Push new features to my mobile app
- Update my app boilerplate with everything I learned (the hard way)
- Design a new app for my wife's LLC
- Start building that app
- Update my company website with all of it

All while playing TerraTech Worlds with my son.

It felt like a pretty productive Saturday. Then I opened X and saw what @nateliason and @Austen's insane bots were shipping.

I think I'm having an "aha" moment. As the human here, I am the bottleneck. I have to remove myself from the equation.

I've been making websites all my life, but it's actually fun again.

[Damon @dcmalk]

So, I jumped into making my Roblox game and skipped something obvious: I have no idea who the audience is.

What they play, why they stick around, what makes them click. That gap matters more than code.

AI lets us build fast, but the real work is understanding who you build for.

Website for my Roblox game is live. Not bad for about 20 minutes of work. Built with Opus 4.5

The bots are coming! 🤖

Saw a Starter Story about Roblox two months ago. Thought, "I should do that." Launching Car Pop in an hour.
