I mostly use Claude but I've been trying Codex recently. I'm confused by the sandbox concept. Most things work the same but it cant run Rails System tests. It also never asks me to approve code before it writes it. How can I get it to behave like Claude?

I’ll be speaking about Hotwire Native tomorrow at Chicago Ruby! Join in person or virtually via the Zoom link below.

I thought for sure this was a troll account.

Maybe the question you asked their support team exceeded the 5 Boolean question quota?

Revealing Rails Magic with Enums, Tue, Feb 17, 2026, 5:30 PM | Meetup “Rails magic” is a term many people use to describe the ease with which Rails helps you go from zero to working app so quickly. However, like all other frameworks, there’s

This month @meg-gutshall.bsky.social will be joining @phillyrb.org to break down the ActiveRecord Enums module. Don't miss out on this talk breaking down some of the "rails magic" that you may be taking for granted. RSVP here: www.meetup.com/phillyrb/eve...

This effect is so cool but so unnecessary lol

Check out the details in this post. mikedalton.co/2026/01/26/h...

How are others doing this? Is there a simper approach?

I’ve talked at a couple events recently about Hotwire Native and how to implement OAuth in a Hotwire Native app. The approach I take is to authenticate in a system browser which allows you to keep most of the logic the same between web and native apps.

I'm pretty tired of 1password. They removed Dropbox support, forced everyone to subscribe. I wouldn't recommend it for someone new to password managers but I've been dragging my feet on switching myself.

They are saying it was a mistake and rolling out a fix but regardless its really concerning that a password manager doesn't have enough controls in place to prevent this or at least identify it before the community does.

I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out why syntax highlighting is not working on my personal site. It turns out @1password.bsky.social introduced a change to their Chrome extension that deletes elements in code tags. www.1password.community/discussions/...

There’s a sidekiq feature called unique jobs that can do this. Though it might only be for certain tiers. There may be an alternative open source implementation.

Gonna stream again in a little under an hour! Come join and help me decide what I should do next. UX or new features??

Looking forward to seeing a lot of mustaches at @blueridgeruby.com !

Thanks for having me speak about Hotwire Native at Philly.rb last night!

Tomorrow night I’ll be speaking about Hotwire Native at Philly.rb. Come check it out!

Thanks Cody!

Next week is Philly.rb! @kcdragon.bsky.social is joining us for an intro to Hotwire Native. If you’ve been curious about taking Rails to mobile without going all-in on Swift/Kotlin, this is a great chance to learn how teams are doing it in practice.
