most SWE folks still have no idea how big the difference is between the coding agents they tried a year ago and declared as useless and chatgpt 5 paired with Codex or Cursor today

thanks for the article, it's a good one

I still use Claude Code and Cursor and tbh still run into a lot of the same issues. Hallucinating code, hallucinating requirements, even when scoped to a very simple "make this small change".

It's good enough that it helps, particularly in areas or languages that I'm unfamiliar with. But I'm constantly fighting with it.
