Why would any of us care what you say? You're not particularly intelligent and have never accomplished anything significant. You're just some guy.

I just keep hearing all these people that preach this, but I don't see anything substantial (that isn't something stupid or a tutorial they followed from medium) that anyone responds with. e.g. of a meh: give me top 10 HN articles for today and summarize the contents, add tags and build a website. I know AI can do that, but it's not impressive.

Not to pick on you, be mean or anything, but your github profile says no contributions in a year. Obviously there are other online git repo sites.

Care to share anything in prod? For a reply so aggressive, the proof is in the pudding.

This.

AI is already more or less ultimately powerful with nearly endless ressources - though, no one built a big software company in the last 3 - 4 years solely with AI to replace one of the behemoths.

The fact that you own a car which could bring you everywhere does not mean that you actually will go eveywhere.

On a conference 2 month ago, one speaker claimed that AI will be so powerful that within 3 years there will be guys who replace microsoft because they have a better coding AI than today.

I do not see this happen

Have you actually had it do anything substantial and then tried to work with the code it produces afterwards? It may "work" but it's a horrific mess. Good luck bug fixing that.

Yes, with GPT 5.2 Codex and 5.2 Pro specifically. It’s not a mess because of the context I provide and the guidance and reattempts I apply. It’s working great, the resulting code is good when I accept it, and I’m getting much more done than in the before times.

Yes.

Im working productive with it every day (Claude Opus). If you provide enough context, the code usually works veeeery well on first shot.

(For sure, I do not tell it "build me a facebook", instead Im telling it precisely which single function I want to have, how it should work, what the output should be.

Its just a boon.

Yes, Opus 4.5 is not business as normal. If you haven't tried it, you really need to, to update your opinion.

I am talking about opus 4.5. It made a complete mess out of my project.

Do not throw your project in there as a whole.

Chunk it into single parts/components/building blocks. Then do each of these a dedicated project/workspace. In each of these workspaces, you put in only the source code relevant for this module. You are working in each project/workspace separately.

Try this

That's what it does. Switch to Codex (not someone else's harness) with 5.2 Codex XHigh
