OpenAI Codex Review - by Darko Medin
Excerpt
**CONS : ** Cons are the usual ones we have with all Agentic coding systems. Heavy reliance on LLMs will mean a bunch of errors, so 3-5 iterations on average took me to build functional products without errors. Memory management is a bit loose so some of the memories, history of chats may spill over between sessions unless you delete them.
Related Pain Points
Code generation regressions and unreliable output quality
8Post-update Codex exhibits significant regressions in previously stable workflows, generating code with logical inconsistencies, ignoring design specifications (e.g., front-end ignoring provided UI designs), and requiring multiple re-runs and manual fixes.
Memory leaks and session history spillover
4Codex has loose memory management where chat memories and history may spill over between sessions unless users manually delete them, causing confusion and potential data exposure.
