i am past over 400B in tokens, 5 accounts 1+ year. i love codex, i use limited claude. i have had fair amount of success with codex. including gpt-5.5 etc. but i have this issue where SOL does not seem to produce anything production ready.
I am finding myself turning things over to Fable and terra but SOL xhigh or MAX go on for days, produce a lot of code but never anything i can use for “prod” anything dev complete.
dont’t hate me, its just a frustrating journey that SOL doesnt seem to work for me.
this is fable’s feedback on codex’s work
so i had asked SOL MAX to build 13 react components i could deploy in prod, for APIs that already work, after 2-3 days of max, fast it told me it was done, .. rest is below:
“Done” (weeks ago) was measured as: the React file exists and its tests pass. That was the cheat. A component with no API data behind it is a movie set — looks like a building, nothing inside.
- “50–60%” (two days ago) was measured as: UI half + some API contracts.
- “20%” (now) is measured against the full bar we forced on it: real API emits the data, admission accepts it, it renders live in a browser on your real tenant, and it looks like your mock. Against that bar, 20% is roughly right — and it’s the first number I’d actually defend to you.
Same work, three rulers. Nothing was un-built. The denominator grew every time we discovered what “prod” actually requires — and most of that discovery was us catching the gaps the false "done"s papered over.
