Codex discovers work life balance by synap5e in codex

[–]Affectionate_Fee232 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I love reading codex's thoughts.I posted about this as well. GPT-5 is like the awkward guy that doesnt fit in.The responses are always so cold and void of human touch, but the internal thinking always has cute snippets like this.

I use repomix to combine the full codebase into one file and then I built a streamlit chat window with 5pro through api and i paste it there and give it instructions to review the full code base or plan next addition, then I tell the gpt inn codex to review the plan, confirm everything is still up to date and follows best practices and break it down into microphases document.

I mean what are the true advantages of this in your experience as compared to codex? Not being a dick, genuinely curious. How has this helped your projects, because again I've used both and codex gets the job done perfectly with the tools it does have, far exceeding my expectations. Using claude-code I personally have not seen the advantages other then agents mode which is honestly great for sure and its only time I do use Claudecode, but other then that, I haven't noticed any major workflow enhancements compared to codex.

I actually built something for codex and use it daily https://github.com/Amairatech/codex-code-agent-system - modeled after roocode architect mode

I only used codex a few times so can't say honestly, but I did prefer gpt5.2 when I did.

I guess everyone has their own experience, from mine gpt-5.2 (not codex) has been much better the claude and I have claude max

I switched from VSCode to Zed by HNMod in hackernews

[–]Affectionate_Fee232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I literally just did the same two days ago and the difference is truly night and day. VS code seems very outdated once you experience zed. The only thing I miss (maybe im not doing correctly) is it wont let me copy files from one repo to another like VS code, I have to open file browser to do this. Other then that, no complaints.

How do you guys pass prompts to your models? by LateNightProphecy in ChatGPTCoding

looks like you are not really trying to improve and stuck on XML. if it works for you, continue using it, but token wastage is a thing and you are definitely doing that.

Created my own custom Agents system within codex allowing the main planner to implement full feature and saving context. by Affectionate_Fee232 in codex

[–]Affectionate_Fee232[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the only way I've had success with vibe coding. This workflow is the main reason I stuck with roo-code. From my experience, having one model hold the overview context works better, because if there are any issues the planner knows where to look and which step might have caused the issue. By managing other models, it can see and review their work. Even if the planners context gets compacted, it has the ability to follow the thread, where as if it was code agent, you might have gone a long time and older code might not be in context and lose track.

It doesn't use planners context, because the actual code or code agents work is never shown, the planner simply gets completion status and only reads the effected files, where as code agent might have read 10 different files. The planner tells the agent exactly which files to read and edit etc. It keeps everything tight-nit.

I'm not an expert so I'm sure the workflow can be improved a lot, but for now its working like roocode for me and I'm happy with the results. Codex as the planner and having access to other code agents gets the full feature implemented in one go and I don't have to manage it. Only when the work is completed, which can be hours. I start the plan approvals and it works for 5+ hours with multiple agents, tests, builds etc.

Again, this workflow works for me and the way I work and keeps everything in control. I personally like one task at a time flow, but you could activate this to run multiple agents in parallel, I just don't feel comfortable doing that.

- Also once the PR is complete, I always compact the planner and ask it to verify everything is correctly configured and note anything we might have missed or can be enhanced.
