    1/ At @ThisDotLabs, I built a Codex Plugin, called Build Web Data Visualization with DevEx Lead @coreyching from OpenAI. With this plugin, Codex uses image gen to design the app and then implements it really well. See the examples below. Claude can’t do this!🧵

    "This code was authored by AI" is a fallacy if it lands in your codebase. You’re still responsible for the code your AI agent generates — just like you were for every PR you reviewed and approved before AI. Code ownership hasn't changed.

    As someone with very strong opinions about "pretty code": GIVE UP ON MAKING CODE PRETTY AND PERFECT AND LET YOUR AI COOK.
