Yesterday was my first day at @OpenAI working under the amazing @romainhuet.

I've spent the better part of two years pushing the frontier of having models write code for you, shipping updates week after week for @RepoPrompt.

Transitioning from being a founder is never easy, especially when you have a community of amazing developers who invested so much in your tool.

Thankfully Romain worked hard to ensure that all those users would be taken care in the process, and if you're one such user, you should have an email waiting in your inbox with the details!

I'm very excited to be joining this talented team and work alongside everyone at OpenAI contributing to codex.

Very excited to welcome @pvncher to OpenAI!

Eric built @RepoPrompt with a lot of taste and care. We wanted to support that community too, so we’re offering RepoPrompt users Codex credits to help them get started.

Can’t wait to build what’s next together.
