@shadcn end this madness once and for all 🗳️

@thsottiaux unlock parallel work - worktrees belong with the captcha in internet hell

the cognitive load managing threads and untangling stuff that gets in the wrong place is the biggest struggle imo

there needs to be like a layer which is a dedicated delivery/engineering manager

@argofowl All their recent moves and ‘“leaks”feel like manufactured pre-ipo number pumping fuckery

@theo first off this works incredibly well everyone needs to literally copy paste and watch.

i find fable 5 on high barely ticks down in usage following this delegation method to 5.5 high fast - i keep using rate limit resets back to back because the fable thread is too good

first time that balance has shifted in recent memory

As engineering, product, design, DS, etc. melt into a new kind of role, I was reflecting on what roles might look like in the future. For example, when I look at the Claude Code team I see what I think is five archetypes:

1. Prototyper: comes up with brand new ideas; churns out many ideas, most of which don't ship
2. Builder: quickly turns a prototype/idea into production-grade product/infra
3. Sweeper: cleans up the UI, simplifies the code and system, unships, optimizes performance
4. Grower: takes a product that has been built and iterates on it to improve Product-Market Fit
5. Maintainer: owns a mature system to make it secure, reliable, fast, and efficient as it scales

Many people span across 2 roles, and sometimes 3 roles. I also notice that these roles are not really tied to job function -- eg. across Anthropic, some designers match category 1, some 2, some 3; same for engineers, PM, DS.

A healthy team needs a mix of these, depending on the product:

- A product that is new and pre-PMF needs people that are strong at 1+2+3
- A product that is growing and has found PMF needs 2+3+4 and some 5
- A product that has strong PMF needs 3+4+5 and some 2

Maybe product roles of the future will look more like this, and less like the domain-specific roles of today?

@shadcn This is my main use case for codex spark @jxnlco

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@bchesky @shashankmodi_ So then does design / presentation (or whatever future term for ui/ux is) become more of a user defined system that’s consistent across diverse set of agents?

I want Airbnb design experience and presentation for every backend agent I deal with (bank, work, social etc)?

Codex activity 📉 trend is depressing..

Can we throw another party im not invited to please @thsottiaux @OpenAIDevs @sama

[OpenAI Developers @OpenAIDevs]

Your Codex activity now has a home, and an easier way to share it.

Codex profiles show your activity graph, streaks, lifetime tokens, peak daily tokens, and top features like plugins and /fast mode.

Private by default. Share a card when you want to.

YC 2.0

[Sam Altman @sama]

interesting recursive loop here maybe

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@thsottiaux 🔥🔥🔥

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@OpenAIDevs I think that unarchiving a session with images in it is what did it i sent to /feedback

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@OpenAIDevs Quality of life update - codex usage on 20x plan goes from 99% left to < 10% in about 30 minutes

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@Youyou97222 @thsottiaux same

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@thsottiaux showing old PRs - every new chat gets this #309 for some reason.. its from like 2 months ago and no matter what codex does, codex (nor I) can figure this out

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@ajambrosino @ClayMalott @thsottiaux @jxnlco @simpsoka every time this button comes is an emotional rollercoaster

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@thsottiaux What % of it is goalmaxxing?

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@claudeai It feels like there are 20 templates Claude recycles

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@randomor @thsottiaux I told it recreate in swift but you can pick your poison

[Nelson Keating @nelson_keating]

@NickADobos @Dimillian I was gonna say plugins/skills but this pet is way better idea
