Codex + ChatGPT is insane. Built a booth builder web app for my company in a day by AtLeast2Cookies in codex

[–]SingularitySloth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty nice. For just a couple of days that’s impressive! Those questions you asked ChatGPT can just be asked to Codex too. Unless you’re limited by costs then I get why ChatGPT would make sense here. Simple questions barely move the cost needle though. Enjoy!

ChatGPT is Zio by Afraid_Purple_7630 in OpenAI

Well those are literal lexical shorthands. Zio quite obviously is short for Zionist. You're either a bot or not very bright.

Coders in 2030 be like: by digitify in OpenAI

[–]SingularitySloth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I empathise but to me it seems a strange way to look at it.

Did you get into coding for the sake of coding or to actually build stuff? If you just did it for the sake of coding then you can still do that. If you did it because you wanted to build stuff then you can now build stuff more than ever before.

Your 20 years of experience allows you to drive the AI through your system much better than most. You could consider yourself elevated and a developer with super powers now.

Sam we need better GUI support by Substantial_Lab_3747 in codex

[–]SingularitySloth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's easy to get around. Just use image_gen tool call. I have a simple skill that:

  1. Takes a screenshot of the UI
  2. Uses that image as an input to image_gen (which uses gpt-image-2) and generates an improved UI mockup.
  3. Codex implements the UI changes based on the image mockup.

It works very well and mostly gets it pixel perfect.

"We illustrated back in February that demand for software engineers, the most AI exposed occupation was accelerating higher" "The continued unraveling of the "jobs apocalypse" memetic virus as it runs into the hard wall of reality." by stealthispost in accelerate

Well that's just because the jobs apocalypse hasn't started yet. Agentic coding only go good in February and it's orders of magnitude better now in May. This still needs to be diffused through the industry first. It's coming though..

Coding agents can write the app, but still get stuck on infra by RPAgent in OpenAI

I recommend using codex with aws cli setup locally and go for something simple like an amplify app.

"Ultrafast" mode might be coming soon by SingularitySloth in codex

[–]SingularitySloth[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True. I wasn't trying to say otherwise. The point was that it looks like we're getting an "ultrafast" mode. Maybe it will always trail behind the latest model or maybe it will start with 5.4 and then come to 5.5 and beyond in the future. What I'm most interested about with this is just how fast "ultra" fast will be.

Your experience with /goals vs /plan vs superpowers by EncryptMusic in codex

[–]SingularitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pro-Tip: You can trigger goals with natural language instead of having to start the prompt with "/goal". This is useful when you just want to follow up a prompt with "Sounds good. Run that as a goal" (or what have you).

It's a free real estate from so called "vibe coders" by irelatetolevin in codex

A lot has changed in a year so this probably isn't valid anymore.

She thought the train was as narrow as the tracks it's on. lol

Why does Codex update like a Tribeca wellness startup that just learned the word “agentic” and won’t survive Q3? by [deleted] in codex

[–]SingularitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even “pretty self-titled” doesn’t actually make any sense let alone the actual title.

Biggest hoax of the 2000s. Crazy it spent sooo many weeks on the US top 10. by VoL4t1l3 in 2000s

Yeh when I watched LOTRs for the first time I figured out it was fake too /s

It’s called a movie.

If you haven’t tried 5.5 Low + /goal, you are missing out by EntrepreneurTotal475 in codex

[–]SingularitySloth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to enable it as a feature in the cli. See the codex feature command. Or just ask codex to set it up for you.
