codex superpowers from Meng To

Meng To is one of the people I keep tabs on to see how he's evolving his workflow as he builds his ideas with AI.

So I sat down with him to get a look into what his process looks like now… (spoiler: he’s moved everything to Codex)

We do a ton of screen-sharing and go deep into his strategies for getting better outputs from the models and a lot more 👇

  • Why Meng built his own local Notion tool

  • Why Meng writes 0% of his own code now

  • Strategies for design.md and agents.md files

  • How Meng uses GPT Image 2 to brainstorm UI design

  • How Meng’s workflow has evolved in the last 1.5 years

  • + a lot more

There’s one question I can’t stop asking myself

“What if companies apply to talk to you rather than the other way around?”

- me

That question is the  foundation for the Dive Talent Network (and it's reeeeeally working).

Right now I’m helping many of my favorite startups hire people who listen to the show. Just look at this logo wall 👀

So if you're curious what might be out there (or maybe you're even looking for your next design hire) here’s the link ✌️

Designing better artifacts for Dia’s browser

Christine Rode wrote a fantastic article detailing her journey of figuring out how to make AI documents for Dia that don’t look like slop. My favorite part was seeing how she gathered and used inspiration.

Turning world cup data into posters

Zeh made an organic, painting-like poster of France and Senegal’s world cup matchup that blew up on Twitter. So he broke down his poster process in this article. Talk about creative.

🧃 INSPIRATION JUICE

3 things I saved this week

1️⃣ MyMind’s sticky search bar

MyMind zigs when every other product zags. I haven’t seen a search bar quite like this before and it’s beautiful.

2️⃣ Town’s hero section

Everything about this composition on the Town website is fresh 👌

3️⃣ Card connectors

Another week another Ayush design. I shall definitely be finding an excuse to copy this use this as inspiration at some point 😅
