lol - I guess, if I heard that in an interview that would be grounds not to continue.

    "enhance"

fwiw codex is very good. arguably better than the sonnet equivalent (value-wise). I use both daily, professionally. And "refactor this code spin up subagents" is hardly an expert-level "I wouldn't hire you" flex.

EDIT: agree with your comment updates. I'd just say it more positively leaning especially to people who are stressed financially. SOTA has advanced a lot so counter-intuitively being behind isn't really behind, it can almost be a way to leap-frog, lean on the Agents. But definitely you have to commit to putting in the reps and learning and not just mindlessly instructing AI to "fix it". Think that's where the discussion splits.
