The post discusses Codex, an AI-assisted coding tool developed by OpenAI, and presents various thoughts from users regarding its capabilities and implications for software development. Key points include concerns about the effectiveness of Codex at finding significant bugs, the need for engineering rigor amidst a rise in 'vibe coding' tools, and the tendency for engineers to transition into management roles due to automated coding tools. Several users share their experiences with similar technologies and express frustration over the limitations of Codex, such as reliance on cloud services and rate limits on complex tasks. The post also reflects a desire for more open-source alternatives and highlights a division in the engineering community over the ethical implications of such technologies.
