inb4 "I got prompt injected and they stole my stuff". Now real talk, there are some viable usages of codex here but nothing novel its the same "old": "MEMORY,VAULT,BG TASKS" that everyone is doing.

And about voice mode, I thought it was a good idea but I seriously don't know how you guys use it, my thoughts whenever I use voice are "aaaaaaaaahhhhhh, uhmmm" and then cancel it so that I can type and organize my thoughts. I don't really think those "brain dumps" are useful when you are thinking out loud like "We should really do X oh wait but actually Y is in the way and we have to take into consideration Z, but wait Y was actually done" and so on, and it turns out that your assumptions are wrong, it becomes a mess. I am in favor of the LLM to work with facts and always verify it. To me this post is basically selling Codex app and that's it, nothing new inside.

in tsz ( https://tsz.dev ) I am Codex-Maxxing with this: Give each Codex an AgentName and ask them to mark their PR/issue/comments with those. Have one or two "managers" that manage PRs and overall project direction. I write the project directions and make long lasting issues. Each Codex session has an almost unachievable `/goal` but they are asked to achieve the goal by landing changes in `main` via PRs I am running…

Do you know about Perry, a TypeScript to native binary compiler also in Rust? That might be interesting to collaborate on. https://old.reddit.com/r/typescript/comments/1rjxo8z/what_if... https://perryts.com/

Yes I'm aware of that. Perry is a different project. Folks at Oxi tools are also doing something similar (a ts checker) but that's also not 100% compatible with tsc. My goal with tsz is a superset of tsc that's stricter (for now it's called Sound Mode). But matching more than a decade of work that TypeScript has put in has been a long journey already. None of the existing TypeScript rewrites are matching the original tsc yet. tsgo is the closest but that also has bugs that needs to be addressed before TS 7 is released.

I think my architecture can be faster than tsgo albeit a much more painful codebase to work on. But I'm not claiming any sort of achievement yet.

Ultimately users have to decide and I have to show a very strong case that someone should use a nonofficial rewrite over Microsoft's own code.

Will tsz be a success? I am not sure. Am I learning and having fun? for sure!

If the other people in the org are using LLMs to a similar degree, any question to which an LLM can provide a good answer to will never get sent. How useful are the draft replies then?

I feel that we're about ready for someone to start something like Uber, but for file-like objects

Yeah I didn't mean subsuming one project into another, just that maybe both could be integrated so that a user can type check strongly and soundly with tsz and then compile with Perry. Turning TypeScript into a true sound statically typed language with AOT compilation would be amazing.
