lol sounds more like a bunch of front end developers who don’t know what they are doing wanted to use a language they use on the front end on the backend.
Because it might not have been the “Spanish”, but certain people who ruined history. So it’s not fair to blame a whole country for the actions of a few.
Codex attempts to one shot for me but there’s many rounds of refinement. I haven’t used it in the last couple of weeks because it’s disappointing. Over hyped. Gone back to Amp and a little bit of Cursor with Sonnet 4.5
Might be who you follow but it seems everyone is talking about it more and more but I never see it mentioned on HN at all. So I figure the AI enthusiasts here aren’t on Twitter. (Just an assumption)
Worth trying out. The free version doesn’t have the oracle so I use the paid version.
I wonder why people don’t just use Amp Code and use the Oracle.
It’s Sonnet 4.5 + GPT-5 working together.
Codex just isn’t as good as people make it out to be. OpenAI seems to train on a lot of JavaScript/Tailwind to make visuals look more impressive but when it comes to actual backend work it just fails more than it succeeds. Sonnet is much better at chewing through tasks and GPT 5 is great at consulting planning and analysis.
Using Amp and asking it to check everything with the oracle leads to superior results.
But no one on HN has heard of it. I’m guessing HN hates twitter?
