From Fox News: @ICEgov brutally threw a 79 year old American to the ground. He’s now suing for $50M. We’re spending 40-80k to deport each immigrant. And now, we’re going to have countless lawsuits from these out of control, sadistic ICE Agents unnecessarily brutalizing

The thing about Codex is, there's no good excuse for not fixing all your production bugs anymore.

Reproducing errors just got easier. In Beta 3 of Session Replay, we’ve added DOM events like input, status changes, clicks, and drag-and-drop. Pair those with stack traces and you’ll see the full story of what led to an error.

Starting to build Autofix for @rollbar like this: Rollbar -> GitHub Actions -> Codex CLI (with Rollbar MCP Server) -> GitHub PR). Just now on our next.js frontend: - Fixed 1 user-facing bug - Fixed 3 tech debt issues - all in about 90min. How it looks in practice so far: 1.

Claude just tries stuff. Codex figures out why, then one-shots it.
