OpenAI just dropped a new Codex, where do we go from here?
The new model Codex is out, and already it feels like a giant leap forward.
It's faster, more accurate, and starting to feel less autocomplete-y and more like an actual coding sidekick. But every time one of these bounds happens, I can't help but wonder what it means for how we actually build.
Are we heading toward a world where we still code, or mostly just make slight adjustments on what AI offers?
Seriously curious to know:
• Does this get you more stoked or more concerned?
• Will we be shipping faster, or just spending more time in review?
• Is it opening the door for more people to build, or making it harder to trust the process?
Would love to hear your thoughts, especially if you've already tried it out.

As someone with no prior coding experience, I have been using Cursor for nearly six months but haven’t yet started exploring CodeX. AI coding can indeed help many people quickly realize simple ideas. For example, there was a time when I needed to scrape SEO content from competitor websites, but most web scraping tools on the market required payment. So, I decided to use Cursor to write my own tool for personal use. I’m still using this small tool today, along with other utilities like markdown syntax helpers.
As for CodeX, I’m very excited about it and plan to try it out when my Cursor subscription expires this month.
Moreover, as Cursor’s CEO mentioned, in the "post-code era," taste will become increasingly critical—it will push you to think about abstract logic rather than the specifics of implementation.
On the positive side, this allows developers more time to focus on the value of their products. On the downside, with coding becoming so accessible, it might lead to an influx of homogeneous applications.
