Codex & Opus

Been playing with Opus and Codex, things are moving so quickly. On the weekend Codex helped me reverse-engineer an iPhone app. The app to unlock my camera door lock was painfully slow. Codex wrote a working python script that opened the door with some hand holding, but no code contributions. It wrote a harness to capture network data when that didn’t unblock it, it read through the source code and unpacked the webview data. It read through the minified JS and then assembled a backend that creates a socket connection, assembled the correct binary message and then send it to the endpoint.

Codex then already created a next.js project and converted the entire source from python to typescript with basically no help.
