>I think, in most cases, GPT5-Codex finally is as good as a senior engineer for my specific use case. This is beyond bananas to me given that I regularly see codex high and Gpt-5-high both fail to create basic react code slightly off the normal distribution.

If you really want to see it fail at something easy, try to have write something that can use JSX but doesn't use React (Bun, Hono, etc). Seems like no amount of context management and detailed instructions will keep it from reaching for React-isms.

Bear AI signal whenever we see glimpses that the reasoning is just pattern matching to artifacts of actual human reasoning.

I'm seeing the downvotes. I'm sorry folks feel that way. I'm regretting my honesty. Edit: I'd like to reply to this comment in particular but can't in a threaded reply, so will do that here: "Ah, super secret problem domains that have been thoroughly represented in the LLM training data. Nice." This exhibits a fundamental misunderstanding of why coding agents powered by LLMs are such a game changer. The assumption th…

We've all been hearing from people talking about how amazing AI coding agents are for a while now. Many skeptics have tried them out, looked into how to make good use of them, used modern agentic tools, done context engineering, etc. and found that they did not live up to the claims being made, at least for their problem domain. Talk is cheap, and we're tired of hearing people tell us how it's enabling them to make i…

I just had Claude code convert all my personal projects over to be dockerized, and then setup the deployment infra and scripts for everything, and finally move my server off of the nightmare nginx config file I was using.

I actually think people on 4chan and even reddit don’t get angry that quickly because it’s an anonymous posting board so there’s nothing to be defensive about, unless you’re really invested on an opinion, which makes me suspect this even more, why would he start cursing when he was just bragging about spending 70k? It I posted on reddit about how I just spent 70k on a watch and someone replied that they didn’t trust…

Maybe you wouldn’t, but something the past few years have made abundantly clear is that that having more money is not correlated to having a thicker skin and being able to ignore criticism. Or if it is, it’s an inverse correlation.

> ignore it at your own peril I’m not arguing for ignoring it, my point is different. > but I think it will profoundly change software development. The point is that this is said every time, together with “the previous thing to which the exact same praise was given , wasn’t it”. So it’s several rounds of “yes yes, the previous time the criticisms were right, but this time it’s different, trust me”. So everyone else i…

So what is your thesis? The tools keep getting better, so that’s some kind of gotcha that the emporer has no clothes? Some people prefer the absolute latest and greatest so people on the previous gen were all fakers making Pelican svgs? Maybe the productive thing is actually to ignore naysayers and goalpost movers and use the tools. You aren’t enlightened for not liking a tool. “Oh, hammers? Absolutely a bubble, afte…

No, that is not my thesis, and nowhere in my post do I talk about a dislike for a particular tool or “being enlightened”.

I’ll say it again:

> So to have a productive conversation we need to go in with the mindset of “we’re on the same side in the goal of not having this suck”.

If you’re unwilling to engage in those terms and steel man the argument, I don’t see the point in engaging in conversation. If what you want is to straw man and throw unsubstantiated jabs at someone, there are other communities better suited for that.

It's pretty frustrating that every release is IOS first without any timeline or expectation for Android

This may explain it: https://9to5mac.com/2023/09/06/iphone-users-spend-apps/

this makes sense for apps where you pay up front to use it. for subscription-based services, this idea falls flat.

in fact, apple made it harder for apps to take payments from its users in the past than others.

I'm using opencode which I think is now very close to covering all the functionality of claude code. You can use GPT5 Codex with it along with most other models.

Is there a way to use this with your own openai or anthropic keys?

Yes, I only use my own keys. It even lets you use your Claude Max subscription.

Actually, there are more internet users today than at any point in history. The internet is far from dead. The commenter in question is the CTO of the company which makes Wordfence. My instinct says they're not on the OpenAI payroll and you're looking at a normal comment and not advertisement. I think you should check your priors man; it's worth thinking critically before you toss out accusations like that.

Thanks joenot443. I suspect the only way to prove that I’m legit to the doubters is to do something a paid shill or a bot would never ever do. To the commenters who think I’m a shill or bot: fuck every single one of you and the various motherfucking horses you rode in on. I suspect we may be entering a dystopia where vulgarity is proof of life.

aw, my horse.

It's probably the same sort of sanity that prevents you from spending 70k on Cla— on a watch, and prevents you from replying in anger.
