i dont care if a wallpaper is ai made or not - as long as it looks good.
i get why they're doing it, but i just don't think it will scale. new image gen models are just getting better and better. if they simply choose to categorically ban them, they're missing out.
i planned it in sketch and implemented it with claude - i guess it is because of the font and the orange-ish background color?
that alternative is?
Well you do get promoted for simplicity if you outperform others, who do things too complicated.
For example, person A implements the simple solution, gets the project done faster while person B over engineers, has seemingly impressive stuff to talk about but at the end of the day doesn't ship.

Doing a working holiday in Japan starting April 2026.
Love building with AI!Obsidian + cupertino skin, photomator (macOS), raycast, zettel (iOS)

I wrote a similar blogpost just a few days ago: "The Vibe Coding Slot Machine" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47022282)
there may be a selection bias here as poor people tend to be less likely to be married
"rerun" is meant in a more abstract way here; "doesn't work" is meant in the way that the app itself is bad - and doesnt sell;
ofc i'm aware of modern agent loops; without them it wouldnt be possible to build apps with the click of a button in the first place
we're seeing so many LLM releases that they can't even keep their benchmark comparisons updated
the workflow exists
my code is 90% ai generated at this point
as perfect text became an indicator for AI generated content, people intentionally make mistakes (capitalization) to make their text appear more human; and its also faster
What We Don’t Know Yet
Governance and decision-making: How decisions are made, who has final say, and how the community is heard
Roadmap and priorities: What gets built when and how to balance competing needs
The transition itself: How to bring in more support without disrupting what already works
In other words: they have no clue what to do next (https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/ankis-growing-up/68610/2#p-1905...)
my guess is that openai/anthropic employees work on macOS and mostly vibe code these new applications (be it Atlas browser or now Codex Desktop); i wouldn't be surprised if Codex Desktop was built in a month or less;
linux / windows requires extra testing as well as some adjustments to the software stack (e.g. liquid glass only works on mac); to get the thing out the door ASAP, they release macos first.
lol ofc not
looks like the same framework they used to build chatgpt desktop (electron)
edit - from another comment:
Hi! Romain here, I work on Codex at OpenAI. We totally hear you. The team actually built the app in Electron specifically so we can support Windows and Linux as well. We shipped macOS first, but Windows is coming very soon. Appreciate you calling this out. Stay tuned!
- looks like OpenAIs answer to Claude Code Desktop / Cowork
- workspace agent runner apps (like Conductor) get more and more obsolete
- "vibe working" is becoming a thing - people use folder based agents to do their work (not just coding)
- new workflows seem to be evolving into folder based workspaces, where agents can self-configure MCP servers and skills + memory files and instructions
kinda interested to see if openai has the ideas & shipping power to compete with anthropic going forward; anthropic does not only have an edge over openai because of how op their models are at coding, but also because they innovate on workflows and ai tooling standards; openai so far has only followed in adoption (mcp, skills, now codex desktop) but rarely pushed the SOTA themselves.

Doing a working holiday in Japan, Osaka starting April 2026. I love building stuff, especially when it has to do with AI (mostly LLMs). I have tons of ideas, so in my freetime I turned many of them into open-source projects (see GitHub). At work I'm working with Java / Spring Boot and k8s - 50/50 split between Dev and OPS. I would be particularly interested in positions that have something to do with AI native software development/applications. The field is rapidly changing and I think there's a lot to explore.who would have guessed; we will see more of these vibe coding disasters in the future. still waiting for the big OpenClaw security hole, exposing remote access to anyone having this vibe coded project installed tho
does it support email notifications like opencve?
Well, that is a very good question!
AI written text is often characterized by a very peculiar choice of words — many people report "delve into" is a particularly telling sign of text written by AI.
If you want me to add more examples, feel free to ask me for more!
I'll remove those from my dock since they're not eye-candy anymore

Fullstack maniac. Building stuff 24/7 be it at work or open source projects in my free time.
I hate coding interviews, check out my hobby projects[^1] instead.shameless plug: i built something very similar but nobody cared: https://github.com/AlexW00/Buffertab
not super impressed. feels like 70% as good as nano banana pro.
