## Resource

Read the full post on Substack: https://natesnewsletter.substack.com/ Codex is changing how I work because it is not just giving me better AI answers. It is letting me hand real computer jobs to an agent: find the files, read the transcript, compare versions, render the artifact, check the result, and keep going until there is something real to inspect. In this episode, I walk through why the unit of work is changing, how my token dashboard became a receipt for agentic work, and why threads, goals, computer use, plugins, and skills matter for people who do knowledge work outside of code. The practical takeaway is simple: pick one annoying and valuable loop, give Codex sources, standards, boundaries, and proof, then learn how to verify what came back. Hosted on Acast.
