>Who has time for that?
replyPeople that don't put out slop, mostly.
That's another thing entirely, I still review and manually decide the exact design and architecture of the code, with more care now than before. Doesn't mean I want the UI of the agent to need manual approval of each small change it does.
replyI wouldn't even think of letting an agent work in that made. Even the best of them produce garbage code unless I keep them on a tight leash. And no, not a skill issue.
replyWhat I don't have time to do is debug obvious slop.
I ended up running codex with all the "danger" flags, but in a throw-away VM with copy-on-write access to code folders.
replyBuilt-in approval thing sounds like a good idea, but in practice it's unusable. Typical session for me was like:
About to run "sed -n '1,100p' example.cpp", approve?
About to run "sed -n '100,200p' example.cpp", approve?
About to run "sed -n '200,300p' example.cpp", approve?
I keep it on a tight leash too, not sure how that's related. What gets edited on disk is very different from what gets committed.
