Is it worth upgrading to Codex 20x?
I use /fast so much that it feels like a compiler for thoughts.
My real bottleneck isn't writing code, it's getting feedback. When feedback loops are slow, I end up batching work into much larger chunks, which makes iterations more expensive and increases the cost of being wrong. /fast lets me keep the loop tight and adjust course sooner.
My biggest hesitation tho about upgrading is the pricing stability. I've switched between enough AI products to notice the pattern: you sign up for one set of limits, get used to a workflow, then a few months later the pricing or quotas change and you're effectively getting less than what you originally signed up for.
It's hard to build habits around a tool when the economics keep moving underneath you.
This view is basically right outside our house. I grew up with a perfect volcano casually sitting in the background.
Could've seen the meteor just by opening the window and touching some grass.
But the usage limit just reset, and I was too busy codexmaxxing 😆
Apparently there's a volcano erupting right now in the Philippines. I'm watching a livestream when suddenly there's this extremely bright green fireball coming from a completely unrelated trajectory. Is that a meteor?
it's been less than 24 hours since my codex limit reset and i've already put a 40% dent in my weekly limit.
i can't tell if limits were nerfed or if i'm ripping goal mode too hard.
what is happening?
Even after the usage limit bug fix, it is still draining quickly. The Pro plan used to be able to last me 1 week, now its like 3-4 days. Anyone facing the same issue?
LOOK!!! PHIVOLCS’ Ligñon Hill IP Camera records a meteor striking the northern slopes of Mayon Volcano at 10:33 PM this evening, 25 May 2026.

I've had more "I can't believe it's this good" moments with GPT5.5 than any other model since Opus 4.5. It's shockingly, scarily capable. Days and days of amazing progress. All steering, no handwriting. Yet utterly delightful to conduct its coding. So, so good.
It seems like Tailscale isn't working properly anymore on Starbucks wifi. I used to get a much faster connection when routing through my home PC as an exit node.
Evidence of exceptional ability and asking how they solved hard problems down to the brass tacks level is what matters.
Those who actually deserve credit know the details of the solution, because it was so hard it got seared into their brain. The phonies and posers who falsely claim credit will flounder at the second or third level of detail.
