It also fills up my HD with old versions. I investigated and it took up something like 12 gigabytes in total on my system; which seems insane to me, it’s just a harness?
People moan about how badly made Claude code is but Codex seems much worse on every metric
This stuff is moving fast, should update automatically. This is kind of standard now. Browsers do it. No reason for harnesses not to do it as well.
You can do this without a daemon, and without storing n previous versions as noted by another user.

If software engineering is solved they should be able to get it right the first time
CODEX WRITES ITSELF! DONT YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND!!!!!
So you imply that Codex has a hoarding issue?
It gets very attached to itself
My browser doesnt update automatically, i have to approve it.
Maybe this kind of stuff is standard for some people but I absolutely loathe auto updating software for many reasons
Sure yea just let sam altman install a rootkit on your box.
That's not odd whatsoever. /s
you run it on the bare metal?!! Balls. I run it in a container

Also, it feels that chatgpt.com and aistudio.google.com are the buggiest websites I have seen for long time. Why it is always something related to LLMs?
All of the harnesses I've used are terrible at cleaning up after themselves. They leave all kind of clutter behind, to the point where on my dev VM, I now have an LLM run once a day to just look through the disk and delete everything that looks like it's leftover garbage.
It's like fighting fire by employing an arsonist.
Can't wait until we get really well designed harnesses written in a compiled language that doesn't bloat my computer. Will probably have to be written by a company other than OpenAI because codex is like the exact opposite of everything I just listed
Codex is written in rust, fyi... Not that I disagree.
It’s extremely ironic that the software that’s meant to end software is itself pretty terrible software.
Yep, .codex/packages/standalone/releases keeps all the old versions. Also each codex bin is somehow ~300MB.
Remember: VSCode runs a complete headless Eclipse instance as its Java LSP, so I don't expect quality code from any of the big companies anymore.
Even if you installed codex with brew?
