codex cli has been out for 5 months with 170k weekly downloads - it's definitely 'ready for primetime' if you can get past your bug. I don't have that issue.
The install errors out after following two basic install commands. This is poor code hygiene on the part of the authors. That's "not ready for primetime" in my book.
>I moved from Sweden to Ghana, West Africa. I started working as a teacher in the countryside, but after invoking the spirit of their dead chief, they later annotated me the king of their village.
I knew a guy like this. He was fairly transparent about the fact that he talked a lot of bullshit about himself, in the sense that he didn't keep it realistic and didn't respond to reasonable skepticism the way a normal person would, but a lot of people responded positively to it. The people it worked on, they recognized that he wasn't speaking literal truth and mentally discounted what he said by some large percentage, thinking that they were critically adjusting for his boastfulness. But he painted such a grandiose picture of himself that anyone who subconsciously assumed that 10% of it was true would still be impressed.
He was a weird dude. I think he grew up in a household where outrageous boasting was common and had been doing it so long that it was his authentic self. He desperately wanted people to be impressed with him, and he had mastered a strategy that had a consistent yield, but the people it didn't work on looked down on him pretty severely, and he didn't have any way of earning their respect. He had to trust in the fact that over time he would tend to find himself surrounded by people he could manipulate.
