Isn't being creative a requirement to create things? The author complains that he can't do the basic things that LLMs now take care of. And I am saying that if you really have a creative mind, you can come up with 1000s of projects every day and enjoy bringing them to life very fast.
For example, I wanted to build my own note-taking app for a long time because I got sick of Obsidian. Now I built my own, and it is magnitudes better than Obsidian, at least to me and for my use. I built smart home systems with Claude because, without an LLM, it would be too time-consuming to troubleshoot APIs and read all the api documentation. I wanted to test a TTS model, and it took me 10 minutes waiting to test it without reading the documentation. I use it for everyday random creations all day long.
Instead of one tiny project consuming all my week, I can now work on all of them in hours. My /srv folder has over 100 projects of my own, and some of them are parent folders to smaller dependency projects.
that's the ideal case, as then I would have no pointless interruptions to keep me from my real work. the fact that that real work would include reinventing the entire universe of software from scratch is a trivial detail.
I was interested at launch but yeah $40 seemed aggressive. Reviews at launch were pretty negative too for a lot of game bugs and unfinished feel. If those get patched up and it seems to improve … i still dunno, kinda steep!
If the issue comments are to be believed it could be related to the codex system prompt itself so likely just the harness. I agree the wording is weird but they appear to be referencing GPT 5.5 in Codex because yeah there isn’t a GPT5.5 Codex model.
you are onto something here.. except that instead of a single "scheduler" (the player) each core should need to grab and release its stuff. so its multiplayer and you have to coordinate who us doign what. or maybe each person is a sub sysyem, scheduler memory management etc
