After upgrading Codex to the $100/month plan, I was not fully convinced myself. Then I looked through a month of history with it and realized the valuable part was not how much code it wrote, but how many unfinished things it helped me actually land in my projects.
I turned a small semantic word-guessing game into an AI skill that can run directly in the terminal. This piece is about why the format fits LLMs so well, and how I constrained the model into becoming a stable game host.

In my third autumn in Finland, I finally carried a basket into the forest. What I thought would be a simple mushroom hunt turned into an encounter with fairy tales, patience — and autumn itself.
