I suck at graphic design so I get nanobanana to do that for me.
For simple bugs or creating testcases or easy to describe new features, Codex does it because it does a good job 85%+ of the time saving me a lot.
For really complex race conditions or vast complex enterprise applications… I’m literally an expert at debugging, a minority of human practitioners are better than me. Ofc I do that myself.

Reminds me of people who proclaim AI can’t code for shit.
