Yes, they keep surprising me that they still keep doing all of this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48962703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48962703 with no improvement despite all the marketing assurances that "hey you don't need to read code anymore"
- slopinthebag 3mo agoYeah, I'm going over a bunch of components a frontier model generated and while they "work" the code is quite shocking and will create significant maintenance burden. Not to mention they don't use any of our shared utilities and duplicate so much code.
- darepublic 3mo agoI do have to still remind codex to fetch large amounts of db records in batches otherwise it will always make a first false step of a naive select all style approach. Context wise naive can be ok for small datasets though so codex didn't know the naive approach was not viable. Context management the new code plumbing these days
- troupo 3mo agoContext management doesn't help. I had this requirement explicitly in my AGENTS.md file. Just a minute or so into a coding session it (and Claude) would ignore/forget half of AGENTS.md (because the advertised 1M token context is nothing but marketing bullshit)
