If I were you, and I heard someone here make this claim and it didn't make sense for me, I would bug them until they showed me how they managed this.
Oh wait, thats exactly how I got my start.
Ah, the comforts of living inside one's own ignorance.
I am literally a software engineer that uses ai
And the only teams of engineers its better than are teams of subpar engineers
To be able to claim this, what all have you tried? Have you tried Codex with the latest GPT 5? Have you tried training an agent with your specific code first?
Because it looks like you are missing out a lot. If you really give it a go, you will be amazed with that Codex has become at this point, and it only costs $20 a month!
Just to share my experience, the code I am working on in a protocol stack and its incredibly hard to find developers who can work on it since it requires not only system software level experience but also experience specific to the protocol stack, and even when you think you found one, you will soon realise they have hit a wall - either the debugging is too tedious for them, or they dont have the patience to check all the flows when they make changes or you find yourself holding their hand constantly.
Of course, someone at the level of coders at Google or OpenAI etc would be able to do this, but we can't afford them.
I have been using Codex since the beginning and in the beginning it was good for developing application code, and doing basic debugging, testing etc. But with the latest version, it supports never ending context - so I can train an agent once and it just keeps getting smarter as you throw more work at it, and the context never overflows so the work you put in is not wasted.
However, you gotta be a good software manager to get the most out of Codex - because you gotta manage them properly - clearly outlining the duties of each agent, and how they interact and make sure they have everything they need via command line. You should see them debugging a protocol session using tcpdump and correlating with debug logs. Its just incredible.
Honestly, if you are into software, you gotta give it a try.
