Codex can now keep coding while it waits for your answer

The New Stack 2 months ago 18

OpenAI merged an asynchronous user-messaging tool into Codex so an agent can ask a developer a question, keep working on unrelated tasks, and later incorporate the developer’s reply. The change uses accepted responses from send_user_message_async and then continues the model’s turn, with the update “Still investigating.” returned for the same test cycle. Codex no longer has to block on input, but it can still proceed past unresolved choices without checkpointing or automatic rollback, leaving it to handle any conflicts after the reply arrives.

Your coding agent got the onboarding your developers never did

The New Stack 2 months ago 25

Steve Yegge argues in a two-part essay that agentic coding tools should receive “model welfare” attention while organizations fail to give similar support to developers. He says he is spending about $87,000 a month running his own agentic build system. Teams are responding by adding continuously maintained agent onboarding files (like AGENTS.md) and updating delivery practices such as smaller batch changes and faster, more reliable test feedback to improve agent throughput and reduce context-switch overload.
