@doodlestein Worth paying API you reckon, for some tasks at least? Say, planning or critique?

[Steve Yegge @Steve_Yegge]

I talk to so many tech leaders at huge companies every week. One of the most brutal failure patterns for executive teams right now is thinking that AI is like SOC 2 compliance: a new checkbox item that they have to allocate some resources to, to make their governance people happy. They think, we'll get AI "done" in Q3 or Q4 and finally be able to move on to other stuff.

What they don't see is that their entire company is going to change shape over the next few years, regardless of what they think, or want. Their current hierarchy will be gone, nearly unrecognizable from what gets rebuilt in its ashes. Everyone will be conducting their business VERY differently from how they do it today.

AI not some compliance drill. Leaders need to get in front of this situation before it overwhelms them.

@thsottiaux Claude has a Transcript width setting (Settings>Claude Code) - Narrow/Medium/Wide. Pls ship that in Codex too! Tables would render better in certain instances if the chat area was wider.

@itsreallyvivek The algorithm surfaced "How to be good at research" today and it was an incredible read, thanks!

@jeremyphoward If I recall correctly, you initially enjoyed 4.7 upon release but sentiment deteriorated over time. Do you reckon history will rhyme/repeat?

@cursor_ai Why compare it to GPT5.5 medium, and not xhigh?

[Thariq @trq212]

HTML is the new markdown.

I've stopped writing markdown files for almost everything and switched to using Claude Code to generate HTML for me. This is why.

@sarahookr Punggol Nasi Lemak @ 965 Upper Serangoon Road. Pricey but worth it.

@championswimmer This was a really good and enlightening read, thanks. Output != outcome. Velocity may hasten but direction and destination still matters.

@johnowhitaker @sama Thank you!

[Desmond Choy @Norest]

@johnowhitaker @sama @johnowhitaker how do you count tokens across sessions? In my Codex dashboard, I only see a % breakdown between CLI and App.

[Desmond Choy @Norest]

@thsottiaux This is only available on codex CLI and not codex app - any timeline when it will be usable on the latter?

[Desmond Choy @Norest]

@ajambrosino Are features like /goal going to come to Codex App? How should users think about when to use App vs CLI? I assumed I could use the app for everything until features like /goal were only introduced for CLI

[Desmond Choy @Norest]

@justine_chang39 Interesting. Just tried and this seems to be okay. Maybe if I squint enough there's a bit of a pixelated effect haha.

[Desmond Choy @Norest]

@sama @yacineMTB When did @paulg upgrade his website??!

[Desmond Choy @Norest]

@mckaywrigley 100%. Codex app is really flying under the radar. Computer use in codex > computer use in Claude.
