@thsottiaux Now what can be improved: Projects. Too noisy. At least for my workflow I'll always be focusing on one project at a time and I don't see benefit on showing everything in that sidebar. I would prefer a concept of "your are in this project" with an easy way to switch when needed
@thsottiaux I can tell why I switched from codex TUI to codex App, and it is precisely the "Add to chat | More details | Ask in side chat" -- I don't think enough people use this and realize how powerful it is, specially the Add to chat with annotations.
@rjs@armillspaugh PRD is more for me as a builder to get ideas out. Discussions after a proper PRD are much easier and productive. Even if people donโt read it, itโs valuable for who's shaping or proposing something IMO
@thsottiaux And I know you specifically asked about codex and not about the actual models but I wonder if it's something you can improve in the harness that would make it better in UI? I've tried using https://t.co/TwlrstIlfo and it helps, but Sonnet is still better doing the same task
@thsottiaux Frontend. I still need to go over Opus or even Sonnet to do some basic UI that don't really suck. GPT 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 are far superior when it comes to coding but for UI, man, it sucks
- Developers are frustrated with AI coding.
- AI was meant to empower non-tech users, but vibe code apps getting their DB deleted by claude
- Dario says there will be no engineers, yet they are Anthropic's customers.
- OpenAI misses revenue targets.
Itโs all fine ๐
the honeymoon phase of ai seems to be wearing off for so many developers and the fatigue is kicking in.
โthe joy of learning is wearing off,
washing the dishes seems more fun,
job market is cooked,
side project arenโt that exciting anymore because ai did it for you.โ
This is the same level as saying you can fire every employee you have and just create 100 open claws.
Not caring about which database you use or cloud is exactly what is going to break your company 6 months in the future when things start to fall apart
Chamath on how AI agents are making the "10x engineer" distinction disappear because the most efficient "code paths" are now obvious to everyone.
Just as AI solved chess and removed the mystery of the best move, AI is doing the same for coding, making the process reductive and removing technical differentiation.
"I'm going to say something controversial: I don't think developers anymore have good judgment. Developers get to the answer, or they don't get to the answer, and that's what agents have done. The 10x engineer used to have better judgment than the 1x engineer, but by making everybody a 10x engineer, you're taking judgment away. You're taking code paths that are now obvious and making them available to everybody.
It's effectively like what happened in chess: an AI created a solver so everybody understood the most efficient path in every single spot to do the most EV-positive (expected value positive) thing. Coding is very similar in that way; you can reduce it and view it very reductively, so there is no differentiation in code."
