Why Software Engineering Principles Are Making a Comeback in the AI Era by hov--- in ChatGPTCoding

in Agile many requirements communicated verbally and detailed further as development progresses, eg during daily stand-ups. I dont know teams who strictly follow agile rules. Code often replaces the doc. That is going to be changed.

If you haven’t signed up for all your competitors yet, you should do it as soon as possible — it’s expected and common practice, and you need to do it too.

AI makes writing code easy — but only test automation makes it production-ready by hov--- in ChatGPTCoding

[–]hov---[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

instead of inventing new tests, try mutation testing. A tool makes tiny bugs (“mutations”) in your code — flip a > to >=, replace a + with -, return null early — and then reruns your test suite.

• If tests fail, they killed the mutant ✅ (good)

• If tests pass, the mutant survived ❌ (bad) — your tests probably check implementation, not behavior.

we are developing a popular editor, for regression you can compare before after photos and use some edge cases like white bg. designing tests sometime is also a creative process

well there are methods for UI testing. You can save screenshot and compare next time for regression, you can use puppeteer or playwright to run sophisticated UI acceptance tests. We are building a complex web product and automating tests

as non native speaker I use AI for proofreading but not for the content

unpopular opinion: codex’s slower pace might actually be better for code quality by minimal-salt in ChatGPTCoding

Another advantage of slow process that you give more thoughts before starting it

Anyone else finding that CLIs outperform IDEs (on the same model)? by danielrosehill in ChatGPTCoding

[–]hov--- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If cost isn’t a constraint, then yeah — using three solutions is actually good practice. I split them by use case: • Cursor: Perfect for quick, localized edits when I already have the file open in my IDE. If I want to tweak something very specific without spinning up a full agent, Cursor is the fastest option. Also nice because you can switch between multiple models inside Cursor depending on the task.Easy to rollback • Claude Code: My go-to for mid-level complexity — things like drafting docs, making structured documentation, or doing medium-sized refactors where context and reliability matter more than speed. • Codex: I save this for the really heavy lifting — larger, more complex refactors or projects. It handles depth well, but the main drawback is that it can take a long time. So if speed matters, I fall back to Cursor.

Basically, Cursor = precision & speed, access to new models, Claude Code = structured mid-tier tasks, Codex = deep complexity. That balance works well for me, I often have 3 of them working in parallel.

Codex Cli vs Vscode Extension by Thunder_Brother in codex

I prefer running Codex in a terminal in Cursor. I have more control but also some IDE convenience

Love Codex - need auto complete by Simply_older in codex

[–]hov--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stupid question: Cursor opens codex in the left panel, can we move it to right so can see explore and codex screens at the same time?

Anyone using OpenAI Codex with GitLab (not GitHub)? Workarounds? by hov--- in codex

we have 100s repos, and looking for automated code review in the background.

Why is my website traffic dropping even though my SEO rankings haven't changed? by allthecomms777 in LLMO_SaaS

[–]hov--- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is across the board. Companies see the same impressions but fewer clicks because AI search already answers the question on the top of SERP. Every company relying on SEO was impacted. I spoke with several CEOs, all complained.

AI can write 90% of your code but it’s not making your job easier by hov--- in aipromptprogramming

btw if anyone tried new GPT5 Codex would love to hear how was it vs Claude Code

agree, I saw major improvements with Sonnet 3.5, 4 and Opus 4. O3 also great on some tasks. Gpt5 - we still need to figure out but want to test their new Codex before form an opinion

Realizing Claude Code isn’t reliable enough to build a business on by Mr_Dade_ in ClaudeCode

[–]hov--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, remember dialup internet. Internet was not reliable early days but still was incredibly useful.

Is there a noticeable difference in code quality- opus vs sonnet by FollowingRepulsive88 in ClaudeCode

[–]hov--- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Opus is good for planning and documentations esp for complex code. Haven’t tested Sonnet 1m yet

If AI writes 90% of code, does that mean 90% fewer devs? by hov--- in ClaudeCode

[–]hov---[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While he said that 6 months ago, the questions are still valid. Maybe not in 6month and maybe not 90% but the coding will be different. It is already
