Lament Of The Linux Goblins
OpenAI Developer Community
May 16, 2026
There is a Codex app for shining glass, for fruit-marked gates where polished humans pass; but Linux waits in terminal rain, with goblins tapping pipes again.
They scratch at snaps and haunt the shell,
they know where broken sandboxes dwell;
“An app?” they hiss, “for them, not thee,
now summon us with codex -m.”
So here I sit, by prompt-light pale, while desktop goblins chew the trail; one day, perhaps, the gates will unlock, and Linux goblins shall dock the dock.
