Literally everyone is freaking out over Codex like they didn’t do the exact same thing for Devin, Cursor, DeepSeek, and every GPT drop since 2.0. The hype cycle resets every 3 weeks, and we all start everything all over again. This is what we'll see over the next few days: • OpenAI employees will claim they have been using Codex for a while, and it's writing all of their code. • A few people will tell the story of how they casually asked Codex to finish an old project, and it did it all, and it was perfect. • AI influencers will litter our feeds with "90% of people don't know this Codex trick" and "Cursor is dead" threads. • AI doomers will tell us how the article they published in 1989 explains why Codex will never work. • VCs will congratulate themselves and write posts about how Codex will enable the next trillion-dollar market. • Someone will write a Medium post titled “How Codex Made Me a 10x Engineer (And Saved My Marriage).” • 20% of YC founders will pivot their startups to Codex-related stuff. And this will continue until the next shitty autocomplete drops, and we all forget about Codex and start the cycle all over again.
