I think that is a problem between keyboard and chair situation. I use codex in addition to my own thinking through use cases and talking to stakeholders & domain experts to augment my understanding and find gaps in my plan. In other words, I work how I worked before but with a bunch of agents helping me research and diagram out plans faster before I start coding something.

I agree, it sounds like you have a problem between your keyboard and chair.

but in actuality, its all about how you use it.

you can dump your thoughts and constraints you can think of, and have it work through untangling, or use it as a summarizing notepad, or yo prototype what you are thinking about in different variations.

its no replacement for pen and paper, but no typed or drawn on tablet picture comes close to a real notebook to scribble on its entirely a thinking tool, as much as a skip-thinking tool
