# Multitasking with the Codex app ## Метаданные - **Канал:** OpenAI - **YouTube:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4 - **Дата:** 06.02.2026 - **Длительность:** 3:15 - **Просмотры:** 43,712 ## Описание Joey demonstrates multitasking with Codex worktrees: delegate a drag-and-drop feature in one worktree while continuing local work, then review and apply both PRs. Takeaways: - Worktrees let you delegate tasks and keep moving in parallel. - Keep local momentum while Codex works in the background. - Use quick questions and comments to correct issues mid-flight. - The mindset shift is from line-by-line edits to architecture and flow control. Parallel workflows turn waiting time into progress.

Can you show me like an example of what that looks like of working in parallel or what your workflow overall in the app looks like? So one of the ### [0:20](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=20s) Example feature: reorder pinned tasks features I actually wanted to add was the ability to sort my pin tasks. So in the worktree, we do have the ability to sort these workspaces, which is really nice, and I just want to add the same thing for the pin ### [0:33](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=33s) Kick off drag-and-drop in a work tree tasks. So for this, I'm going to kick off a task on a worktree and use the master branch, and I'm just going to ask to update the sidebar pinned tasks so that I can drag and drop to reorder them. So I'll send that out. ### [0:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=52s) Keep working locally while Codex runs And this is where often when I was working on the VS Code extension, I'd kind of be in this place where I want to let Codex do its thing. I don't want to keep working. But I don't have to worry about that anymore. It's on its own worktree. It'll be completely managed by the app, and I can actually go continue what I was working on before. So in this case, I am actively updating the create branch button. So let me see if I can find that right now. So I haven't actually looked at this yet. I'm going to apply all these changes on my local tree. Okay. And then we can see how Codex did. And ### [1:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=87s) Spot a bug: the branch is created twice yeah, it seems like this might be unintentional. It seems like it's creating the branch twice here. So what I can actually do there is I can just comment here, and I can ask it, why are we creating the branch twice? So also while you're sending this off, you're still having Codex actually work on your other tasks at the same time. Yes, exactly. It actually seems that... Let's pull up this. I was just working on a ### [1:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=113s) Provide Figma context and check other PRs similar modal, and I also gave it the Figma designs we see right below here, right above. And it just finished up a nice big PR as well here. You can see there's a bunch ### [2:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=126s) Multiple PRs finish in parallel of changes here. And we also have finished up this drag and drop PR. So let's take a look at this and see how this did. I'm going to quickly clear out my local state. So let's try and apply this drag and drop feature and see how this one did while it's working on the other one. All right. ### [2:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=143s) Apply the drag-and-drop changes So if we take a look here and we apply the changes while Codex seems to still be taking a look at this and making sure there's not any problems. We can keep working here, and I'm going to apply all the changes for the drag and drop on the pinned task. So now let's take a look and see how Codex did. All right. This looks pretty good. I think ### [2:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=160s) Review the result getting into the habit of really going all in on worktrees and ### [2:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=167s) Mindset shift: architecture over individual lines working in parallel will completely change how you look at software engineering. Instead of focusing on all the individual lines, you'll look at the overall architecture of the code and getting good at context switching in this form. It's pretty tough to completely switch what you're ### [3:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ohXlkbXiM4&t=184s) Context switching and good stopping points working on. But if you find good stopping points and you know when to switch, it's a lot better than either waiting on Codex to finish something or trying to code it all by yourself. --- *Источник: https://ekstraktznaniy.ru/video/11121*
