Descriptions:
Jason is a DevEx engineer on the Codex team. In our episode, he showed me how he runs his entire workday using Codex, from his chief of staff thread for Slack and email to setting up long-running tasks that have verifiable goals. Jason wrote the official OpenAI guidebook on how to get the most out of Codex, so don’t miss this episode.
