Genuinely wondering why did Anthropic release Sonnet 5 when it's less token-efficient than Opus 4.8? Are there specific tasks where it actually makes sense to use it over Opus? Am I missing something 😅
WhatsApp may be the statistically best app we've ever made.
It's a product manager's dream with its unparalleled addictiveness (DAU / MAU) of 87% and stickiness (M1 retention) of 86%, both #1 in the world while having the #1 most monthly active users for any non preinstalled app of 2.7B users.
Here are the top 25 most used apps in the world by MAU on both these metrics. Some surprising observations:
— There are now 15 1B+ user apps in the world, 8 by Google, 4 by Meta.
— The 3 that aren't are TikTok, Telegram (!) and ChatGPT
— Telegram has more users than Spotify, Pinterest, Netflix, Amazon, Snap!
— ChatGPT's one month retention is #5 after WA, Instagram, Chrome and Youtube. 2yrs ago, it was been #20 by M1 retention
— Shopee, a shopping app in southeast Asia, is huge and retains users better than Amazon!
Useful way to break down consumer businesses especially within certain categories (X vs Reddit vs Threads is a good one). It's shocking how few new apps have been able to break through in the past 10yrs.
Loud opinion: If GPT-5.6 still struggles with UI design and code generation, I’m completely uninterested. Because let’s be real, we're tired of fixing broken layouts.
Alrighty, everything is ready 😎
here’s an unofficial “2x Codex limits” promo from my side for you all.
meet DevSpace — an MCP connector app that turns ChatGPT into Codex.
npm install -g @waishnav/devspace
After installing, tunnel the MCP server over the internet and enjoy 2x limits.
You can use GPT-5.5 Pro, xHigh, or High for planning, then hand off the task to your local Codex/pi/opencode/cursor/claude code instance.
Or you can just use it for reviewing code written by other local coding agents
Go ahead, experiment with different workflows, and keep the feedback coming on GitHub Issues or in my DMs
And let’s thank OpenAI for being so generous by giving us separate ChatGPT and Codex limits and by being so chill around this MCP :)
Please use it sparingly, only when you run out of limits. Don’t overuse it — in the end, they do have a button to stop it 🙂
Moving a project in @OpenAI Codex from one folder to another is messier than it should be. This feels like a basic workflow, but it clearly isn’t.
I also don’t love how tightly Codex projects are tied to physical folders. It’s fine at first, but gets rigid fast when you want to reorganize things or work across multiple folders.
Subscription plans are massively subsidized.
And by massively, I mean absurdly:
Claude Max 20x: $200/month, with usage reportedly worth around $8,000
ChatGPT Pro 20x: $200/month, with usage reportedly worth around $14,000
