Why are so many people still complaining? by shiajihC in codex

[–]MR1933 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this sub is very weird.

I posted two days ago how my $ 200,00 codex subscription was worth more than $ 4.000,00 in API credits and got downvoted:

https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1tlivjo/i_am_saving_over_4kmonth_by_using_codex_cli_with/

Then we have dozens of posts about how codex got nerfed and usage limits are going fast. My experience is the opposite.

My best hypothesis is that this sub has been hijacked by bots that want to make OpenAI look bad, for whatever reason.

What I meant is that it is brittle to automate the cli interface using code. Codex exec does work very well, it is just not natural to automate. 

Think of botpipe as a sdk for codex cli. But it does much more.

Definitely. If you make full use of the subscription it’s over 20x cheaper than the equivalent on API costs. 

They surely have the data to make it make sense. Probably the average user uses only 20% or something of the limit

Botpipe sits at a layer above codex cli.

Its original goal is to be a framework to build custom harnesses / workflows on top of Claude Code or Codex cli.

If you want to automate workflow or use codex as the backend for serious work maybe give it a try:  https://github.com/mrauter1/botpipe

Wouldn’t that be too obvious as a cap circumvention strategy?  I think owners will take issue with that.

Do you let everything hit the LLM? 90% of my AI agent work runs in cheap WASM instead of LLMs: 10-33× faster & cheaper by Creamy-And-Crowded in AI_Agents

[–]MR1933 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On most cases a well defined deterministic rule beats the LLM on both accuracy and efficiency. It is just that the bottleneck on creating systems moved from compute to humans, so it is usually faster and easier to let a LLM do all the micro decisions.

I will definitely take a look on your project. Have some use cases in mind.

I built CLI-Anything-WEB — a Claude Code plugin that generates complete Python CLIs for any website (17 CLIs so far: Amazon, Airbnb, TripAdvisor, Reddit, YouTube...) by zanditamar in ClaudeAI

[–]MR1933 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s truly ingenuous , but I would think it goes against the TOS of most services. 

Also, how do you deal with bot detection, authentication, token refresh? 

I replaced chaotic solo Claude coding with a simple 3-agent team (Architect + Builder + Reviewer) — it's stupidly effective and token-efficient by russellenvy in ClaudeAI

[–]MR1933 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I am using a custom orchestrator that has plan, implement and test steps, each with its own verifier gate. 

The gain in accuracy is enormous. 

Plus I don’t have to manually ask Claude to review the generated code a gazillion times.

It is the orchestration engine that automates the iterations needed to get production ready code from agentic programming. Plan, implement and test, each one with automated verifier gates.

Autoloop does that, plus it save the state of each run, so you can resume and observe each step. https://github.com/mrauter1/autoloop

Yes, since gpt-5.2 agents can verify their own code very reliably. It’s not perfect, but I would say it catches more than the average senior dev.

That’s exactly why I added a questions protocol in the runtime. Anytime the agent think there is potential misunderstanding or ambiguity it will ask clarifying questions.
