I used to work for a bank and the legal team used to ping us to make tiny changes to the app for compliance related issues. Now they can fix themselves. I think they’d be very proud and happy

#92so i just upgraded to pro plan but yet https://chatgpt.com/codex doesnt work for me and asks me to -try chatgpt pro- and shows me the upsell modal, even if already on the higher tier sigh
Re: A Research Preview of Codex
#93Some engineers on my team at Assembled and I have been a part of the alpha test of Codex, and I'll say it's been quite impressive. We’ve long used local agents like Cursor and Claude Code, so we didn’t expect too much. But Codex shines in a few areas: Parallel task execution: You can batch dozens of small edits (refactors, tests, boilerplate) and run them concurrently without context juggling. It's super nice to run…

#94So it's looking like it's only running in the cloud, that is it will push commits to my remote repo before I have a chance to see if it works? When I'm using aider, after it make a commit what I do, I then immediately run git reset HEAD^ and then git diff (actually I use github desktop client to see the diff) to evaluate what exactly it did, and if I like it or not. Then I usually make some adjustments and only after…

> It kind of feels like a junior engineer on steroids, you just need to point it at a file or function, specify the change, and it scaffolds out most of a PR. You still need to do a lot of work to get it production ready, but it's as if you have an infinite number of junior engineers at your disposal now all working on different things.
What's the benefit of this? It sounds like it's just a gimmick for the "AI will replace programmers" headlines. In reality, LLMs complete their tasks within seconds, and the time consuming part is specifying the tasks and then reviewing and correcting them. What is the point of parallelizing the fastest part of the process?

If you don't mind, what were the strengths and limitations of Claude Code compared to Codex? You mentioned parallel task execution being a standout feature for Codex - was this a particular pain point with Claude Code? Any other insights on how Claude Code performed for your team would be valuable. We are pleased with Claude Code at the moment and were a bit underwhelmed by comparable Codex CLI tool OAI released earlier this month.

> You still need to do a lot of work to get it production ready, but it's as if you have an infinite number of junior engineers at your disposal now all working on different things. One issue with junior devs is that because they’re not fully autonomous, you have to spend a non trivial amount of time guiding them and reviewing their code. Even if I had easy access to a lot of them, pretty quickly that overhead would…

#100not buying windsurf then???
This would be the why of that acquisition as this needs a more integrated UI. Guessing by the speed at which this came out, this was in the works long before that acquisition.
