*puts on schmidhuber hat*

well ackshuaally i created the first coding agent back in 2022, 2 months before chatgpt launched

jokes aside, it's super cool how I have come full circle. back in those days, we didn't have tool calling, reasoning, not even gpt 3.5

it was codex THE CODE COMPLETION MODEL and frikkin TEXT-DAVINCI-003

for some reason, I did not even dare to give codex bash access, lest it delete my home folder. so it was generating and executing python code in a custom jupyter kernel

you can even see the approval gate before executing. I was so cautious, for some reason, presumably because smol-brained model generated the wrong thing 80% of the time. definition of being too early
