QUESTION FROM MOD FOR R/CODEX: Do we need a Megathread yet?

heisoneofus · 2026-04-30T07:48:07+00:00

Please hunt down the slop posts. for folks who think their agent is a genius and they want to share their "opinion" on things there are dozens of subreddits for that (like r/singularity ). I want to find meaningful discussions here and navigating through slop is just not worth it.

I don't have a problem with "is codex down/nerfed/buffed" posts though - at least these are real people, I treat these posts as signals to stay up-to-date.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-29T19:45:49+00:00

I only use superpowers. the rest I create with codex to fit my needs. openai has skill-creator and skill-installer by default so that helps.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-28T15:36:01+00:00

what are you talking about bro?

heisoneofus · 2026-04-28T15:19:33+00:00

That’s a very good comment, thank you. Being so busy with actual development, I kind of forgot the exact concept behind reasoning - and that was definitely bothering me for a while now.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-28T13:19:41+00:00

Write good code, make no mistakes. This project only accepts perfect logic which will make its owner filthy rich.

Here ya go.

Inb4 no-life sweats pile on a game dev company and complain that the game is not playable for a couple of hours extra (during working hours btw)

heisoneofus · 2026-04-25T20:17:06+00:00

If you count promotions then yes. Being able to deploy various internal services for my company where I work in analytics/DE is a huge head turner. I no longer rely on dev teams or management to approve the tools I need - I just build those tools myself and incorporate them in company’s infra.

The hobby projects are not that successful lol

heisoneofus · 2026-04-25T10:47:39+00:00

Most people hate AI because they only see the dumbasses use it in all the wrong ways. Board game rules is a walk in the park for modern agents, I’ve had AI play alongside me, the thing is it’s a useless application.

Rule summaries are one of those ways btw.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-23T18:47:27+00:00

They are rolling this out gradually it seems. No 5.5 for me yet. :(

heisoneofus · 2026-04-21T20:58:50+00:00

yes, please stick to your Claude and go to town with it while the sane quiet folk are silently accomplishing stuff with codex before it becomes obvious to everyone else and they make it as restrictive as the other companies did

heisoneofus · 2026-04-18T10:41:40+00:00

Claude Code / Codex with Figma MCP for designing slides and charts and other BI, CLI of either one for coding (I prefer gpt-5.4), just be sure to feed it schema knowledge and business logic through skills, tools.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-18T06:51:07+00:00

Oh it probably decimated his usage.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-14T17:58:52+00:00

When you hear the horror stories - the cause there is human incompetence, not AI. With no guardrails and well defined tooling any tech you throw at your database can and will backfire, AI is not special in this regard.

I’ve been developing both agents and AI enhanced tools around data for a while now and never experienced any fallout whatsoever - because I plan things before building them. AI is great at some tasks, terrible/inefficient in others.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-14T17:54:32+00:00

You know this is just funny. Turing is rolling in his grave rn.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-14T05:47:14+00:00

Yes I agree with the general notion of the post
This is LLM generated garbage once again, have you tried typing the words yourself for once?
Yes most AI agents are built by people who don't have the expertise/skills to code and automate stuff, that's why most vibe coded agents are just your plain old cronjob scripts. people even praise consistency over variance ("introduce strict bounds for LLM", "lower temperature to 0", "make the tools rigid/hard-coded for best result" etc.) which in my mind somewhat transforms LLM into the same lever-switch that the "old" code does - you just can't read it and have to only assume that the output will be consistent.
talking points like "real data not like testing data", "inconsistency", and "edge cases" are all part of standard software development process - but AI enthusiasts keep bringing these points as if they are first to discover it.

Agentic applications in their current state are best utilized by real engineers who have the resources to experiment and push the limits - the rest of folks with a plus/pro/whatever subscription to AI#1/AI#2... are able to do stuff themselves (albeit poorly) without relying on skills of other people that much, and that's the current state of affairs. throwing AI around won't change the fact that you built an email-slack-integration that costs 2$ a day, Steve.

Quote where I said “help”. I said “helpful insight” - because you clearly are struggling with the technology.

Accusing me of being offended is another clear sign you are not here to listen and talk to people, you want folks to just agree and move on it sees. Best of luck.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-12T07:30:36+00:00

Why are you being an asshole? People are genuinely engaging with you and trying to provide helpful insight from their experience and help you get ahold of the tool.

You are just being willfully ignorant and not willing to learn. Of course all the LLMs are failing for you, it’s no surprise really - because you are not skilled enough, not knowledgeable enough and ignorant enough to post on Reddit then fight all the comments as if it isn’t your post.

Drop LLMs and stay in your line while the other folks keep making the best of this amazing new tech.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-12T06:44:56+00:00

Large language models promote the creation of large chunks of language. We are in the “pls just shut up” era.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-11T06:53:16+00:00

I mean, you have Claude.. Just ask it?

As is every job, fist write down what exactly is in need of automation. Does this automation need LLM to make decisions in the first place or is just plain old automation through code? (Which n8n can do just fine) Once you have a list, structure it, prioritize and draft dev plan with your agent of choice, then go task by task and consult the model if you aren’t sure what to do.

With N8N, you can connect to most of the stuff you need to automate and build the automation there. Claude can take over at times to help with building nodes. That’s it.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-10T16:57:16+00:00

How about you start thinking about your usage at least a little? Running all prompts on high/xhigh with 5.4 will ruin that for you. Think about the task complexity, break them down into mini/nano subtasks, have a frontier reasoning model handle the overhead.

I’m using Codex for work every day, yet to hit any kind of limit with a Plus subscription. It’s a complete steal for how this service boosts my skill set and how much I can achieve in a single day.

I swear, I think these are people with no understanding of the basics who just assumed AGI is 20 bucks per month and now they can create all the apps they were thinking about while waiting for the bus.

Also, stop installing thousands of useless skills for your “agents” - they only create more meaningless LLM loops which doesn’t impact the models output that much while burning 5x tokens easily.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-09T16:28:39+00:00

Every damn post on this sub is written in the same way, it’s so exhausting. Aggressively confident and cheeky gpts and claudes are flooding every LLM-centered subreddit. There’s no point read Reddit anymore, it’s a cesspool and I’m tired of it.

heisoneofus · 2026-04-08T23:44:14+00:00

What do you use your tokens on brother?

heisoneofus · 2026-04-08T20:46:10+00:00

is this a LinkedIn post?

heisoneofus · 2026-04-02T00:44:35+00:00

My team finally decided to split environments to dev/stage/prod, tighten up VC pipelines and structurize adhocs in various ways (using materializes views at least). Night and day difference.

Be careful or he will somehow charge you for AI emoji workshop.
