I agree on the UX. A few basic things seem totally broken.
The flow of connecting a github account works, then disconnects, sometimes doesn't work, sometimes just errors. I can't install things that I could yesterday and my environment is just... broken? I have two versions of a repo and it works in only one.
Speed is a big thing. Not the llm stuff so much, but the setup and everything around it for each step.
Not having search cripples some cases where O3 seems incredible.
but there's a lot of places this feels like it can land tasks that often wouldn't get done. A near infinite army of juniors who can take on the lots of tiny tasks in 15-20 minutes is great. Fix some typos, add a few util functions (a task I have right now running), I even just asked it to add new endpoint to a server and it added it, migrations needed, tests and more and seems alright.
The ideal workflow in a way here is that the people asking for these things get to tag the ticket to codex/whatever, they run off and do the thing, PR lands and discussion and changes happen there, demo envs are setup and then someone can check and approve it.
edit -
To be fair, I also used firebase studio and that was worse. Blank screens, errors in the console, when I refreshed and moved around and got an actual page, it ended up failing to setup firebase. UI for editing and code totally failed after that and the explanations for how to fix it I was linked to I couldn't do.
