I was like, make an integration test suite for this and feed the WAV files like you're having a conversation and check the transcripts you get back.
Wow.
And it did a great job.
And then it was actually able to fully simulate those conversations and do all the tests.
And then that, I mean, we've got these practices like TDD, which are going to hold value, right?
It was so valuable for the model, for the agent to be running the tests, fixing the tests, running the tests, fixing your tests.
And that feels a bit like magic when you get that working.
You need to be able to code codex from your tablet.
I think the hardest thing is our own mindset, right?
I just found this with coding agents.
You start off putting in things where you kind of have an idea, you know what to expect out of it.
And then you start just putting in stuff that just seems a bit ridiculous and ambitious.
And oftentimes it fails, but more and more it's working.
that's a very magical feeling and it's a very revealing kind of experience.
And so I think we can all be more ambitious now.
I think we all, and especially as engineers, we know how the whole thing works, right?
There is a lot of power.
Everyone's being given with vibe coding, being able to vibe code.
There are a lot of security issues.
I think they'll be solved over time.
