"Software developers have spent the past two years watching AI coding tools evolve from advanced autocomplete into something that can, in some cases, build entire applications from a text prompt. Tools like Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex can now work on software projects for hours at a time, writing code, running tests, and, with human supervision, fixing bugs. OpenAI says it now uses Codex to build Codex itself, and the company recently published technical details about how the tool works under the hood."
""All of the AI companies are hyping up the capabilities so much," he said. "Don't get me wrong-LLMs are revolutionary and will have an immense impact, but don't expect them to ever write the next great American novel or anything. It's not how they work.""
AI coding tools have progressed from autocomplete to systems capable of building entire applications from text prompts. Modern tools such as Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex can work for hours on projects, write code, run tests, and, with human supervision, fix bugs. OpenAI reports using Codex to help develop Codex and has published technical details about the system. Professional developers on Bluesky generally agree the technology works but express divided opinions about the implications. Some developers remain skeptical of marketing hype, while others note a recent step-change in capabilities after new releases.
