I've heard people doing that way more often.
I don't quite understand why would you even assume this. Codex has no access to repo, network access needs manual approval, it is sandboxed to project directory (backup'ed after every step) and commands (which is mostly PowerShell since I'm on windows) needs reviews and approvals.
I can only assume the people who got burnt didn't practice basic sanity as you obviously can't trust LLMs
So much this.
