Cloud Code Opus is better at coding than Codex Astra, although it is usually slower. One issue with Opus is that it adds too many comments.

Codex Astra is weaker at UI/UX design, but the results look much better when I give it a reference page or some core code to follow.

I can barely remember how I used to code before AI. Now, as long as I have enough tokens, I feel like I can build almost any product.

At this point, the biggest challenge is no longer how to build something, but figuring out what is worth building and what people are actually willing to pay for.

The marginal returns on improving pure technical skills have become much lower. Product ideas, distribution, and finding real demand matter much more now.
