Brief

Jason (@jxnlco) celebrated reaching 60k followers on 2026-05-10 and describes his developer-experience work at OpenAI — helping migrate developers to Codex, building the OpenAI CLI, agents, realtime, Codex for OSS, plus motion design and marketing. After severe hand injuries, ChatGPT’s voice-to-text enabled his return to tech; he frames Codex as the next step to restore computer use and broaden access.

Why it matters

Jason (@jxnlco) announced he passed 60,000 followers (post dated 2026-05-10) and works on developer experience at OpenAI.

Key details

  • At OpenAI he has worked on helping developers move to Codex, OpenAI CLI, agents, realtime, building Codex for open-source projects, motion design, and marketing.
  • A few years ago he severely injured both hands and couldn’t type/cook/tie shoelaces; ChatGPT’s voice-to-text gave him a path back into tech, and he says Codex now restores his ability to use a computer and should become a 'codex for everyone.'
Source evidence

looks like i passed 60k followers, so figured it’d be a nice time to do another intro

i’m jason. i work on developer experience at openai.

since joining, i’ve been working on things like:

  • helping developers move to codex
  • openai cli, agents, realtime
  • building codex for oss
  • motion design
  • marketting

and more

this job is also pretty personal for me.

a few years ago, i injured both my hands badly enough that i could barely type, cook, or tie my shoelaces. for a long time i wasn’t sure i’d really be able to work on on a computer the same way again.

chatgpt was what first gave me a path back. it let me turn voice into writing, ideas into work, and eventually get back into tech and make a living again.

codex feels like the next step in that story. it gives me back a way to use a computer, not just a faster way to code. and what i feel like i’m getting back with codex, i hope people who are less computer-native can one day get to experience too, as we make progress toward a codex for everyone.
