Summary

A recap of the creator's first X livestream. It covered how fast Codex usage limits run out (from 98% to 82% during one stream), a demo of a project built with Devin, and why Devin is a good $200 coding-agent plan. The replay was posted on YouTube, but both links in the post look broken.

Key points

• Codex usage limits went from 98% to 82% in a single livestream session, which shows how fast heavy use burns through quota.
• The creator thinks Devin is a strong option at the $200 price point right now.
• The stream went through the creator's post "Are you happy with Codex?"
• A replay is on YouTube, but the link in the post is cut off and the X broadcast link returns a 404.
