I'm new to codex running in a terminal on vscode, and the experience is really mixed. I got 5 to do some great work on a repo (i think, since i'm not a coder its hard to tell until i test it properly and even then, but it did give a lot of confidence). Then i tried getting it to make a bell notification sound when it finished work or stopped to ask a question, and after an hour of struggling have given up. Just for reference, Discord is running and it automatilly sends a bell sound when i get a new message. I got this feature to work in claude code in 5 minutes not even using hooks, so i know its possible. The model has gone from solving its own problems when it was working on the repo, to asking me to do things that i don't or hardly understand with this bell feature implementation. In other words its completely failing as an agent. Now this could be because of resource limitations (this has been a problem in the past) or it could be that there is some kind of integration failure with the sandbox (if its still running in vscode, i got a glimpse of it saying the bell sound was working in the sandbox); whatever it is, its AMAZING to me that openai has not been working on getting codex to do basic things successfully. Isn't it clear to all of the coders that we need to be notified? Don't they need this feature as well? I would have thought it was task 0 in their todos. Its hard to understand if these issues are because they are such good coders they arent aware of these problems; but there is a good reason so many devs prefer claude code. My suggestion is that openai development team watch a vibe/non coder trying to work with claude code, compared to one working with codex in vscode/terminal, and then fix the problems. Including if the reason codex uses so many more tokens is because of the sandbox. This should be a feature we can switch off.
