Hey Reader, I just spent hours building the exact same app twice. Same prompt. Same tech stack. Same features. The only difference was that one used Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Claude Code), and the other used GPT-5 (Codex CLI). And holy sh*t, the results were not even close. Let me show you what happened. The Test I built a simple to-do list app with user authentication. Nothing crazy. Just login, add tasks, edit them, delete them. I even told both models: "Keep it super secure." Should be easy...

Hey Reader, Two days ago my student messaged me. He was almost angry... "GPT-5 worked for 23 minutes and then said it doesn't understand!" Oof. That's rough, and I know how this feels. But that's when it hit me. We're all prompting AI wrong. Everyone of us. The $200,000 Mistake Big tech pays prompt engineers $200k+/year. Because they know what a difference of good prompts. Imagine telling your GPS "go somewhere nice" instead of an actual address One gets you lost. One gets you there. So I did...

Everyone overcomplicates building with AI. Especially engineers. They come from a background where planning is everything. Think it out 10 times over or problems down the road, right? I get it, and this used to be my reality. But it's not anymore, and it's not what I teach today. Here's the Thing How engineers use AI and how non-tech people use AI to build things is fundamentally different. Non-tech people listening to traditional engineers lead to terrible results. People who just want to...

Hey Reader, Last night, OpenAI dropped something that made me reconsider everything. A special variant of GPT-5 called "Codex", purpose-made for AI coding. And after testing it non-stop 6+ hours, I need to tell you something important: This is an actual game-changer. It's the real deal. Here's What Just Happened While everyone was sleeping, OpenAI quietly released three new models gpt-5-codex-high gpt-5-codex-medium gpt-5-codex-low But here's the insane part: I've been hammering the "High"...

Hey Reader, Last week, I had to rebuild three of my apps from scratch. Not because they were broken. Not because users complained. But because I had no f*cking clue how they worked anymore. And it's all Claude Code's fault. (Well, mostly mine for using it wrong.) The $100 Dream Became a Nightmare Look, Claude Code is incredible value. $100/month for virtually unlimited AI coding? That's insane. No credit anxiety. No budget tracking. Just pure building speed. For beginners, it's literally the...
