At OpenAI's DevDay 2025 there was a talk called "Shipping With Codex", where Aaron Friel was introduced as tbe world's top user of Codex. He explained his method and said he would open source it soon. He hasn't yet AFAIK, so I have.
I find the technique mind-blowing efficient and efficacious. It has transformed my productivity completely. YMMV but take a look!
Excited to hear how you guys are getting your coding agents to do bigger and bigger tasks autonomously.
Recommended plan
1. Find a new-ish laptop immediately. You can get a decent used one for $1K on backmarket.com. Invest in an ergonomic mouse and an iPad for 2nd monitor as well.
2. Do only high value tech work that pays or you learn something that will pay. Be hungry and stay homeless but do not work as an Uber driver it's a poverty trap by design.
3. Find a host family, welcoming community or marry up. You can't beat depression or get back on your feet alone. One suggestion is: go to SLC and get involved in Hacker and / or rock climbing communities.
Def get rid of the desktop computer. You don't have a desk and are unlikely to for long time.
Again my $0.02 please it's hard but you're on the right track IMO
TL;DR We do codegen using Gemini for 3Blue1Brown's amazing Python math animation library Manim.
Generates awesome explainers, even when the topic is probably not part of the pre-trained data. They aren't production quality of course, but fairly accurate and great explainers. I liken it as relatable to a whiteboard session.
Looking forward to feedback - especially on how we can make the output better and do LLM evals as well!
GNU has a really concept called the GNS for Gnu Naming System. And what it was was that each human or org would have their own tld directory, and we could navigate the web through other actors, and they could pass trust for zones on to others. So, for example, I could resolve the same page as somepage.ninjaa.site or someotherpage.adept.site. This way you could create a trusted internet by just trusting the published link tld directory of people & institutions you know.
