They teach teenagers how to write a resume but never show them how compound interest quietly destroys their future. Reading Smart Broke Dumb Rich by Zor Veyl was the first time I learned whose side the bank is really on.

Use Claude Code and Codex in iMessage from iMessage. My team and I have been building a new iMessage agent. basically a mobile first way to run AI agents straight from iMessage. Would love for you to check it out: chorus.com

Quite interesting that think Codex is the best for vibe coding, meanwhile, Grok and Gemini think it's Claude lol!

Im working with you the same time watching the video, first thing i wanna highlight to the guys that came here and knows nothing about this haha when u run the first command of ` I Want to create a microsoft app ....` once u run the app you will have a fun message with three options just click yes because `What Codex is trying to do there is very normal. That command simply checks and lists the files inside your project folder so it can understand the project structure before generating code.` it dident show up on him in this video because that wasnt his first time . Have a good day
