Really awesome to see an overnight Codex hackathon on the subway in Kochi.
Literally Codexmaxxing from anywhere and everywhere
Huge shoutout to Codex Ambassador @soulcastor3 for making it happen. Very `you can just do things'.
@OpenAIDevs
logging into a new platform and figuring out where the settings are would have taken me many many minutes.
now my default is to just get codex to do it 🤷♀️
chatgpt work is remarkable, and "work" undersells it.
from my phone i sent:
"use all my chat history to figure out ideas for a long weekend trip with 8 friends, plan the best three options, make a full-stack site where the 9 of us can coordinate on what we would want to do in each place and decide where to go, and then after we get to group agreement make reservations. draft an email in my gmail i can send out to my friends when the site is ready."
it...just worked.
Jason is a DevEx engineer at OpenAI who wrote the official guidebook on how to use Codex for work.
In tomorrow’s episode, he showed me his complete Codex work system, including how to:
→ Run a chief of staff across Slack and email
→ Turn past sessions into new skills and workflows
→ Build sites to learn anything, like the drums

3 months ago (aka a lifetime ago), we held our first Codex Hackathon in Sydney 🇦🇺 with @UTSStartups. Here’s a nice recap video prepared by the team.
very YCJBT
/side in the Codex app is one great way to steer long-running tasks in Codex.
With it, I can check in on Codex from the side thread, ask clarifying questions, give it pointers, or help unblock it. I usually ask Codex to summarise what’s done, what’s not yet done, and whether there’s anything I can help unblock (e.g. via clickops).
Then I can ask the side thread to send these updated or sharpened instructions back to the main thread.
P.S. You can also ask Codex to create custom HTML dashboards for these updates - or send them to you by Slack DM or email! 👀
