A parent turns airplane time into a Codex-powered two-player game lesson

A repost jokes that instead of letting kids play iPad games on a plane, the parent forces them to build a two-player side-scroller with Codex.
The point is the contrast: one family gets passive entertainment, the other turns travel time into an AI-assisted coding session. The post is mostly a meme, but it is a recognizable AI-culture joke about using coding agents as a parenting hack.
