More than that. Building a throwaway-transient-single-use web app for a single annoying use kind of makes sense now, sometimes.

I had to create a bunch of GitHub and Linear apps. Without me even asking Codex whipped up a web page and a local server to set them up, collecting the OAuth credentials, and forward them to the actual app.

Took two minutes, I used it to set up the apps in three clicks each, and then just deleted the thing.

Code as transient disposable artifacts.

I posted it recently, but now this works differently https://xkcd.com/1205/

You can get a throw away app in 5 mins, before I wouldn't even bother.
