Why Codex Is the Beginning of New Engineering

The way we write code just changed forever. OpenAI’s latest updates to Codex aren’t just a small step forward—they’re a whole new chapter in engineering. In this video, I walk you through what’s really happening with Codex across the cloud, desktop (CLI), GitHub integrations, and even VS Code extensions.

You’ll see me experiment live: from adding playful sparkles to a homepage logo, to swapping out fonts across an app, to spinning up pull requests and letting Codex review them. Along the way, I share why this shift is about more than faster coding—it’s about scaling yourself from one developer into ten.

By the end, you’ll see the full lifecycle: firing off multiple requests, reviewing results, merging PRs, and understanding how this ties into Git workflows. This is the first real glimpse of what “new engineering” looks like—and it’s already here, for just $20 a month.

China's Alibaba challenges U.S. tech giants with open source Qwen3-Omni AI model accepting text, audio, image and video
