Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity

  • one issue I have is it doesn't seem to be able to run autonomously as long without asking for permission?
  • With CC I set it to Auto mode and I can whitelist specific commands and tell it not to use any but those and it can go forever. But not quite sure how to set that up with Codex.
