Which repo are you trying first?
Codex made me money without me doing anything..
Huge turning point for me today, I asked Codex to go off and make me $5. It went out, found a small open-source security/audit bounty path, made a legit PR, followed up with the maintainer, kept my payment details private - (without me asking), handled the GitHub proof/verification loop, and got the work merged.
it spent about 22 hours working on multiple security audits.
Today I received my first payment from that experiment: $16.88.
That’s a $506.40/month run-rate if repeated daily.
Not life-changing money yet, but it's deeply exciting to live out Sam Altman's vision for AI, where it will just go out and make money for you. It's awesome to start to see the beginning of that.
Anthropic just dropped a 31-page guide.
On how to prompt Claude 4.7. Here's what it fixes:
1. The scope rule: "Review this contract" gets you nothing. Name every output to Claude.
2. The negative rule: "Don't use jargon" doesn't work. Use positive instructions.
3. The length rule: "Summarize this" returns 8 paragraphs. Always define the cap.
You upgraded to the new Claude model.
But you forgot to upgrade your prompts.
I spent the weekend reading Anthropic's 31-page guide on prompting 4.7 so you don't have to.
I wrote a free guide with the exact 7 rules that fix it.

I know I talk (a whole lot) about Claude.
But I don’t care about Claude. 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝘆 𝗺𝗲.
I’m sharing, twice a week, how my work is speeding up (𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵) with AI.
As I’m trying to keep up, I want 𝘺𝘰𝘶 to keep up.
So we move just as fast.
I want to be the great filter to your AI noise.
And 593,000 people read this twice a week to focus on the 𝗛𝗼𝘄.
Some came because of my LinkedIn. But most readers subscribed because someone they trusted sent one of my articles to them.
If this article helped you, 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 (and share it):
