@reach_vb Huge thanks for running this contest and for picking my project as a Codex wild card winner! Building with GPT-5.5 + Codex was genuinely fun and pushed me to ship something I’m really proud of. The whole thing was super well-run, loved seeing 200+ projects and how thoughtfully Codex judged them. Grateful for the prize and for everything you do to support builders in the community. Congrats to @cloveric, @Ixel111, and @Saad__ too! Excited to keep shipping 🚀

Love seeing what people are building with Codex already. But I also think we need a serious conversation about what tools like this are doing to developers long term. Psychologically, professionally and creatively That’s what this video is about: x.lingyaoai.com/i/status/2056407053992…

Hi Vaibhav! :) I am the author of Codeck that was closest miss. Not sure why the website (also created with Codex and GPT 5.5 BTW) was blocked. Here is the link to the repo instead: github.com/lkuczborski/Codec…

Codex picking wild cards is fun. also shows that novelty still matters when everyone can ship fast.
