@GoSailGlobal this is spot on. the gap between demo and production quality is where it gets interesting. curious how this evolves over the next few months.
@sflorimm the $200 MVP gets you to validation. the $25k gets you to something that doesn't fall apart when real users show up. they're not the same product.
@sflorimm Distribution and taste. Everyone can build the same thing now, so the edge moved to who you reach and what you choose to make. Shipping speed feels like the only durable one left.
Codex is the best agent harness out there right now
If you are using it just for coding, you're doing it all wrong
Literally ALL work you do on your computer you should try to do through Codex first
I had to launch a new newsletter landing page today. I told Codex what I needed to do. Had no expectations it would work
It autonomously wrote the code, uploaded it to my github, went to my Vercel account, started a new project, connected the repo to vercel, then chose the correct domain name from my list in Vercel and connected it.
5 minutes after sending the prompt I went from nothing to a fully live working email collection landing page
I'd do these steps:
1. Write down every task you do on your computer
2. Before doing the task, start a new chat in Codex and tell it about the task
3. Ask how it would do it
4. Make sure browser use and computer use are enabled
5. Run every task and see how much it can complete
6. For repeating tasks, schedule them in an automation
Almost all your knowledge work on your computer will become automated. I'm very blown away
@mattpocockuk the model-invoked vs user-invoked distinction is exactly what I've been wrestling with. both have their place but I keep reaching for explicit triggers
Yesterday, I shipped v1 of mattpocock/skills, including:
- /ask-matt: ask me how best to use the skills, from right in your agent
- Model-invoked vs User-invoked skills
- /writing-great-skills, which encodes my skill-writing best practices
Enjoy:
