Initial thoughts on OpenAI Codex
I recently shared a note on LinkedIn on the new Codex release:
In trying out OpenAI’s newly released Codex (a software coding agent in the cloud), I realized that the ability to launch multiple simultaneous coding tasks is a superpower.
The UI offers the ability to ask a question about a code base; the AI response then includes suggested tasks - each able to launch a coding agent.
This doesn’t obviate the need for more powerful AI than we have… but it does offer a way to quickly explore a variety of smaller-scoped efforts in parallel.
Overall: promising initial impression; but reserving judgement until I can better assess the results.
Another day in, and I’m even more excited about the potential.
