The main difference is that deepseek is bad at prose, and Codex models are much more eager to use tools provided to them (which is usually fine, they often make like 3 todos via tool calls for a simple one step task which is silly though), and deepseek in general benefits from good instructions more than GPT models maybe do.
Deepseek becomes much better if you give it tools for asking clarifying questions, doing self-review with subagents, and so on. The more tools it uses, the better the signal-to-noise ratio in its context, and the more consistent the output.
You must still review 100% of the code as if it's trying to sell you insurance.
Then you, dakolli - out of generosity and minute-to-minute devotion to enlightenment - sacrifice time from your busy day to sit down (though perhaps that's been painful lately?) or stand up with your phone - and offer a profound, deeply thought-out counterpoint in the following form (and I'll paraphrase):
"Nah mate, it's shit. All LLMs are shit."
The stories I could tell you about people who would have that exact bio. I work adjacent to this industry, I promise you there are thousands of people with these exact credentials who are extremely bad engineers. Also, I'm not sure why having something in your bio makes you qualified.. You llm people have completely fried your brains.
Sorry, I use these tools every single day, a lot, I'm not speaking from a lack of exposure, but these llms are terrible and all they do is add massive amounts of slop to your code. Yes they're useful for when you want to be lazy, or you're doing something not serious, or for the people who want to be lazy all the time (most llm proponents). Have fun making your competency tied to the quality and quantity of tokens you have access to slopper.
I really can't begin to describe how stupid I think you are for thinking that having that statement in your bio makes you a qualified engineer.
Edit: And like a lot of tools, HOW you use them is just about as important as the quality of the tool itself. Of course the tools can produce massive amounts of bad quality slop, they can also produce fast, focused edits that make sense.
Well, I guess having "Two PhDs, Three masters degrees. Expert in everything.." in your bio makes you very smart!
