bangkok is incredible.
you go to a rooftop restaurant in a five-star hotel and ask for the drinks menu.
the prices look way too high for shots, but way too low for bottles.
turns out they are, in fact, bottles. bottles from the 7-eleven downstairs.
you order one and the waitress literally goes down to seven and brings it up to the rooftop.
absolute civilization.
@jxnlco amazing, but we don't care
what we care is to get our shit done the way we want it to be done
make those models follow instructions
every single task done wrong way, ignoring explicit instructions
tired of that shit. make it work or return our money
something that codex was amazing but getting terrible in last week: context management
i use codex for around 1 year. for most of that time i never saw autocompact
last week is happening all the time. once with spark i got 3 autocompacts before any change was made
probably bc system prompt adjustments for 5.6
Ola. The Codex team is investigating issues where some accounts are seeing faster usage draining than intended. We believe this is related to some abuse & fraud prevention mechanisms that we have that might be overflagging.
Stay tuned.
today was mostly fixing cursed infrastructure and making the brain less stupid
first:
back in fbc hell
again
because apparently facebook attribution is not a feature
it is a recurring boss fight. real AGI test. codex is failing so far.
also started preparing the ceo ai to be actually useful
not just “chat with vibes”
but memory
knowledge base
access to production db in read-only mode
so it can understand what is happening in the business from real data, not from me manually feeding it crumbs like a pigeon
bonus:
codebase is now embedded with gbrain + voyage
so coding agents should navigate faster, use fewer tokens, and stop rereading the same files like goldfish
and we started redesigning the admin sales funnel dashboard
especially quiz attempts
because the current dashboard is too noisy
too confusing
and too good at pretending fake numbers are insight
goal is simple:
less dashboard soup
more clear funnel leaks
fix tracking
give ai memory
make admin useful again
another round of making the funnel less stupid
big thing:
we laid the groundwork for the memory check free trial funnel
instead of asking warm quiz traffic for money immediately like a goblin with a stripe account
the product now has a cleaner path:
finish quiz
see result
enter free trial
then decide
much better than “congrats on testing your memory, please pay now”
also tightened the whole post-quiz lifecycle around that path
result copy
email labels
next step
all starting to feel like one product journey
not five random marketing gremlins shouting from different tabs
manychat also got smarter
we refined follow-up routing and eligibility so we only keep nudging people when it still makes business sense
no chasing dead leads
no poking contacts who should not be pushed further
less “automation because automation”
more “this touchpoint might actually make money”
also calibrated memory check scoring and share behavior
because the result has to do multiple jobs at once:
feel trustworthy
make sense to the user
support sharing
bring repeatable traffic from the satellite pages
tiny product surface
big funnel job
and finally fixed some small landing flow friction
mobile ctas
locale defaults for social previews
little boring stuff that nobody celebrates
until it breaks and your ad traffic lands confused
startup life is mostly this:
find the leak
patch the leak
discover 7 smaller leaks behind it
repeat until the funnel stops being a haunted pipe
