@Shpigford @tanishqk I am pretty much exclusively using Codex 5.5 now. It doesn’t seem to cut corners like I was seeing with Opus.

@levelsio Sorry, you must have broke the switch when you turned it on 🤷‍♂️

@CasJam @petersuhm It really is the worst. Like, we just started building this 10 minutes ago. Please, no migrations or fallbacks.

This post feels relevant today. I just found out that a premium .com domain I purchased is not being fulfilled due to the previous owner no longer owning the domain 🤷‍♂️.

So, I guess I’ll just have to rock the .app until the .com resurfaces at some point.

But, it would have been a steal at $488 for the name.

We're finally shedding the .so (thank you Somalia!), and using the .com for @NotionHQ. And for this beautiful moment, I want to share a fun story:

Back in 2018, I had just joined Notion, and one of the first things @ivan asked me to do was figure out how we could own https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. I had never done a big domain purchase before, so I reached out to a few domain brokers to understand the landscape. We tried different brokers, kept things anonymous, and attempted to surface a price the seller might consider.

A year went by… nothing. Meanwhile, it was pretty clear this was only going to get more expensive as we grew. We needed a different approach. A fellow founder connected me to a broker who took a very different tack. Less transactional, more long-term relationship builder. He spent months getting to know the domain owner. Turns out owner was a fellow entrepreneur in the west coast… and a huge Grateful Dead fan.

So we figured, why not get creative? Something beyond just price. So I called up our investor Ronny Conway and asked if there was any way he could help set up a private meeting between the domain owner and the Grateful Dead. Ronny is one of those people who somehow makes impossible things possible. A week later he calls me back: “New York City. Halloween. 15 minutes after the concert. Done.”

The broker went back to the owner with an offer: some cash, some equity, and a private meeting with the Grateful Dead. That got his attention. He didn’t take the band meeting in the end, but he did lean into the equity (great call, in hindsight). We shook hands, and a few weeks later, the deal was done.

I’ve been waiting years for the day we move our product to https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. Looks like 2026 is finally the year. Safe to say I’m unreasonably excited about this update!

@evilrabbit_ But, does it come in, black?

[Ryan Hefner — oss/acc @ryanhefner]

Just to be able to talk things out and both hear what it says back, but maybe more importantly to just gear yourself to get it out and find some clarity is such a game-changer.

Also, I meant to send this to you a couple weeks ago when it popped up on a playlist, made me think of @heyrosieai.
