Low key embarrassing to be someone driving Codex Desktop development at @OpenAI, with such capable agents and models, and still unable to do use them to do the most basic of software engineering tasks like bug report triage / fixing; when half of them are pre-investigated anyway.
Replying to @M1Astra
It's actually low key kind of sad/pathetic tbh.. like, in a traditional software dev environment I could respect the time it takes to fix bugs/etc; but with an army of highly capable AI agents at hand, and with users filing far more detailed bug reports (and often solutions) [..]

Or not naming windows usefully.... xitter.cf/_devalias/status/20641…
Also, naming the windows based on the thread they have open, so I don't have to manually sift through 13 different 'Codex' windows to try and and guess which one was the one I actually needed.

Not to mention Codex / ChatGPT still not having first class support for Apple reminders/calendars/etc xitter.cf/_devalias/status/20515…

Like.. come on bro... how hard is it to realise that an app that supports multiple windows all called Codex (or ChatGPT) now could dramatically improve UX by setting the name based on the content being shown (eg. thread title) xitter.cf/_devalias/status/20722…
That feel when the Codex desktop app doesn't provide good window names, or good ability to search through / manage / persist open window state between updates/restarts/etc; so you end up reverse engineering ways to solve it yourself and build the supporting tooling to do so.

At least when we could enable Electron CDP debugging we could hack the Codex Desktop app to set useful window titles on our own... xitter.cf/_devalias/status/20722…
Replying to @_devalias
That then also allows us to get into deeper internals of electron to be able to do things like setting an actually useful window name on the windows (eg. "Codex - <thread title>" rather than just having 30 windows called "Codex")
