Computers Without Codex/ Claude Feel Primitive

I am seeing a dramatic shift internally in how we use computers over the last couple of months. Not just how we develop software, but how we use computers in general.

The starting point for everything I do these days is Codex/Claude. Building product, managing AWS, talking to customers, managing sales, and everything in between.

Whatever I need sits behind these now. SharePoint, a database for user analytics, Sentry/CloudWatch for a product issue, the CRM for pipeline reviews. I almost never log into any of these directly anymore.

We are simulating end-to-end user journeys and complex test scenarios entirely through Codex computer use. Still feels unreal.

Heck, I don’t even open Excel/Word/PPT as the first step when I create proposals.

They have truly become platforms. Just like any platform, there’s so much you can do and build on top of them, and I keep finding new workflows to wire up every week.

It might take time for this behavior to spread across enterprises, but man, it already feels primitive to use a computer without Codex/Claude.
