I am a die hard fan of GPT and codex, I have been working on a very complex system, it was taking codex/gpt5.5 xhigh weeks to actually properly get it working, it kept making massive mistakes, it never followed the architecture and desing, it designed thin layers, inline LLM prompts even though our docs explicitly told it to externalize it, it hardcoded formulas in line in ts files instead of yaml files, did not wire various components, and so on.

i generally dont use claude due to very bad early on experience with it (it did the famous rm rf ). I gave Fable a try on isolated worktree, and in 4 days it completed work that i was assuming would take me until mid july with codex/gpt5.5 xhigh + fast.

I wish / and hope Fable comes back, i wish i had it for two more weeks. its just on another level

You are absolutely correct I shouldn’t have done that.

Try Claude code. I have built so many. Entire pitch decks for my startup. It is the best. Tell it to use animation libraries gsap framer motion etc to build svg.

6000 pages have converted to 1 millions+ lines of product specs and granularly broken down work in phases and tasks. All tracked in the repo.

I have written a software which I wanted to do so for past 7-8 years within past 3 months. I have over 6000 pages of conversations between me and chatgpt Claude Gemini. And hoping to get patent soon. It consists of over to 260k loc, works well it is architected to support many different industries without much changes but configuration and has very good headed and headless qa coverage. I have spent about 16-18 hours a day because I am so bought into the idea and the outcome I am getting. My patent lawyer suggested getting provisional patent on my work. So for me it works

Oh shit your UI looks exactly 100% like mine.

15 years in leadership worked at 3 jobs lead major transformations at retail where nearly 100B of revenue goes through what i built. Ran $55-$100M in a yearly budget… over 300 FTEs and 3x contractors under my or my budget,…largest retailer in google at that time…my work influenced GCP roadmap, Datastax roadmap, … much more all behind the scenes…. besides your capabilities and ability that had to be there to get you in those positions - but once you are in those positions - only that mattered is politics and asskissing. I know so many people smarter than me, always stayed lower b/c they didn’t know how to play politics. Only reason i never got higher was I didn’t know how to play politics and kiss ass any more or any better.

The top people are all who kissed each others ass and looked out only for their cohort (e.g. people who were in same positions as them in early 2013). So teach your kids to kiss ass and play poltiics.

Paid Live Video Sessions (Primary Income) • Pros earn per-minute or per-session fees for live video consultations. • Example: • $3–5 per minute • Typical 10–20 minute call → $30–$80 per session • No travel time, no fuel, no tools, no overhead.

Pros log in when available (between jobs, evenings, weekends). • Ideal for: • Independent contractors • Apprentices with experience but limited licensing • Semi-retired pros • Pros during slow seasons

This unlocks underutilized labor.

4. Lead Conversion (Optional Upside) • If an issue requires in-person work, pros can: • Convert the session into a local job lead • Or refer the job and earn a referral fee

I have built a AI powered home improvement platform with live consultation with pros.

I am not sure if I will go live with it.

It allows those professionals experts across the USA provide help to Do It yourself consumers for a fee. Consumers can be anywhere.

So I married sort of like Uber (rent skills) + upwork (rent + fees) + FaceTime + e-commerce. realtime audio transcription that identifies parts you need and builds a list for pros and you to review which you then go shop.

: Meet Handy — AI + Live Experts for Every Fix.

: Instant, intelligent home-improvement help — see it, solve it, and shop for it, all in one live session.

Live Video Calls with Pros Instantly connect with verified experts via real-time video. No scheduling hassle — just point your camera and get help.

AI-Powered Visual Assistance HandyLens AI analyzes what the camera sees, highlights problem areas, and guides both consumer and pro with contextual prompts.

Domain Expertise Specialized AI Packs (Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, Painting, etc.) ensure every session applies the right technical and safety knowledge.

Actionable Fix Path Each call ends with a clear, AI-generated “Fix Report”: what to do, parts needed, and next steps.

Commerce & Trust Built-In Integrates with retailer catalogs for instant part links, and captures verified pro ratings and summaries for quality assurance.

Yeah this something I need to get to.

Apologies. I meant branch. I nuked the branch. But set me back a lot of time as I thought it may be few things here and there.

I have never had a luck with using Gemini. I had a pretty good app create with CODEX. Due to the hype I thought let me give Gemini a try. I asked it find all way to improve security and architecture / design. sure enough it gave a me a list of components etc that didn’t match best patterns and practices. So I let it refactor the code.

It Fucked up the entire repot. It hard coded tenant ids and used ids, it completely destroyed my UI. Broke my entire grpahql integration. Set me back 2 weeks of work.

I do admit the browse version of Gemini chat does much better job at providing architecture and design guidance time to time.

Haha. This. I had to swallow that $30 a month cost. Because by going through the family sharing, I am saving so much heaxh and time wastage for my family who use YouTube for learning (school, college…), parents who watch videos, listen to music etc. well worth it for me.

Free publicity for Starfield. :)
