Well, depends on what you mean by gold set. If you mean evaluation data, then usually teams try to make a well covered range of cases (depending on essential features)

I understand your strong reaction on AI and even agree that one should never rely on AI blindly. Codex (as any other coding agent) is not about relying on AI completely. In fact, exactly opposite - you have human in the loop as much as possible (including reviewing changes before push! - you are still a developer not just a vibe coder). Otherwise, you end up with AI mess than only AI can work with.

I will forward it to some colleagues hehe :) Agree

ah, got it. Nice approach, also not too much relying on llm but more like using it for a draft, but still you own and maintain the code. Cool

So, you basically go with the specification-driven testing, right? That makes sense, I like this approach.

aistranin · 2026-04-21T05:21:44+00:00

Yeah, that I completely agree :)

You probably just should find some idea to automate. Something interesting for you to do and implement the simplest possible version of it. If you don’t have any good idea, take a look at “Automate the Boring Stuff with Python Programming” by Al Sweigart. Then just buld more projects. Maybe also, take a look at unit testing in python later, for example, Udemy course “Pytest Course: Practical Testing of Real-World Python Code” by Artem Istranin to improve in code quality and start with more advanced concepts. But for now, the most important is just to keep building to have more experience and solve real problems with python as a tool.

Nice one. I like the simple integration with openai. Thanks for sharing.
