Putting inference in a chat window was the first interface revolution. The second is one assistant in front of all those conversations: it decides which session, agent, or machine does the work, keeps the context, and comes back with the outcome. OpenAI's dots and Instinct show two versions of it, and why every frontier lab will need one.
Goals break down as they grow: they outgrow the box, turn into pointers to files, and get judged by what the working agent chose to show. Desired-state development declares what must be true instead, and lets a governing agent, increasingly a personal assistant, reconcile toward it until the evidence and the owner's verdict say it holds.
Codex has become the center of my development workflow, and the model is only part of the reason. Sessions that read other sessions, voice steering, goal mode, side chats, subagents on request, MCP, and an app server other harnesses can drive: the environment around the model is where the work happens now. Coding assistant is no longer a complete description.
Every week there is a new must-have AI tool, and somewhere inside the buzz there is usually a grain of truth. Buzzcut is a small agent whose only job is to find that grain: map the shiny new thing against what you already run and return keep, skip, or watch, with one flip condition. Not anti-hype. Anti-hype-driven architecture.
