LMAO even with such poorly written it managed to flash the card and set it up for me!
The only issue it faced was with the WiFi password but that’s a simple fix
I love Codex!!!

Fair enough, it got pretty far, even used key auth instead of passwords (Claude Code configured mine using passwords once so Codex def improved here). I would’ve upgraded the prompt to include a bootup setup script that includes Codex CLI as well so you could have Codex configured out of the box. Maybe Tailscale too.

@reach_vb I gave it a goal to optimize my MacBook Pro and it found 300 GB of bloat + I swear I am downloading faster lol

@reach_vb How you finding the codex app on that Intel MacBook Pro? CLI works fine but just curious how everything works including the remote control stuff

@reach_vb Impressive that Codex got the RPi flashed and onto home WiFi with just a rough prompt. If you're doing lots of iterative setup and debugging tests, it's worth comparing the Pro plan flat rate to pay-as-you-go API billing:

@reach_vb Nice, sounds like it mostly worked surprisingly well just a small WiFi hiccup at the end 👍
