Viral prompt idea: have subagents earn $80 to buy Codex usage resets, "infinite" coding

A viral post shares a tongue-in-cheek system prompt: when your usage limit drops below 10%, dispatch two subagents to each find a way to earn $40, then spend the $80 to buy a usage limit reset — "boom, infinite Codex." It's mostly a meme, but it doubles as a fun demo of orchestrating subagents and wiring self-funding logic into a system prompt.
