Note - Sketching software

Yesterday I did an interesting evaluation of Codex AI and it was fun.

One prompt after another, I explored generating simple functions in different languages (all the way out of my comfort zone into Haskell) , generating small programs and extremely crude Web services.

I was impressed.

What impressed me most is the potential for using this tool to sketch out solutions and quickly explore the design space.

An example: Let’s say I need an API to access

Caveats

not the accuracy or the security of generated code, which sometimes was lacking, but…

and makes this a sharp tool to be handled carefully )
