I wonder if GPT-5 benefited from what you learned about how-to-prompt for this problem while prompting Claude for 3 days?
I done a couple of experiments now and I can get an LLM to make not horrible and mostly functional code with effort. (I’ve been trying to create algorithms from CS papers that don’t link to code) I’ve observed once you discover the magic words the LLM wants and give sufficient background in the history, it can do ok.
But, for me anyway, the process of uncovering the magic words is slower than just writing the code myself. Although that could be because I’m targeting toy examples that aren’t very large code bases and aren’t what is in the typical internet coding demo.
