React Native developer, I like to make my own products
this is cool, I made myself a webapp to help me manage and combine styles and characters to use with gpt-image-1. It's like my own personal midjourney

Tomorrow I'm giving a small talk about how to get hired as a software eng in 2025. I built my self a slide presentation webapp, and I can get Claude Code to automatically generate images for the slides for me using the OpenAI API. This is so much better than Keynote.

lol ok this is the most I've ever spent on OpenAI API usage. This is for ~100 images generated

I accidentally stayed up all night hacking a side project that uses the new open ai image model. I've been wanting something that helps me explore art styles.

I've been making myself a UI to generate images with the new gpt-image-1 model. This feels way faster than using it through the ChatGPT app.

This model requires personal verification. I had to take a picture of my drivers license and scan my face in order to use it 😳😳😳

I don't know if I know anyone at Facebook, but after logging into my account I get a 500 GQL error on a `/checkpoint` page.

Because I can't get past this page, I don't even have access to support, so how does one even get this fixed?

It's crazy how quickly you can get things done with Cursor. This took me like half an hour of voice dictating into cursor to build. I did a lot of iterations on the design
