you need to fully be able to program to work with these things, in my experience.
you have to explain what you want very specifically, in precise programming terms.
i tried a preview of chatgpt codex and it’s working better than my free version of claude, but codex creates a whole virtual programming environment, you have to connect it to a github repository, then it spins up an instance with tools you include and actually tests the code and fixes bugs before sending it back to you.
but you still need to be able to find the bugs and fix them yourself.
oh and i think they work best with python, but i’ve also used ruby and dart and it’s decent.
it’s kinda like a power tool, it’ll definitely help you a lot to fix a car but if you can’t do it with wrenches it won’t help very much.
