Opus 4.5 turns out to be significantly better than all previous engines. After I provided the service URL, it quickly analyzed the existing HTML endpoints, inferred how they could be used as an API, generated a full API map, ran tests, and produced clean, well-structured API documentation.
Our experiments revolved around the following tools and technologies; each proved a quiet delight.
Virtual Driver is an iPhone / iPad / macOS app.
For a selected route, it shows the full path of the drive, marks dangerous spots along the road, and reminds you about them during the driving simulation.
“Literaki” is a Polish word game, kind of like Scrabble. It’s quite popular — there’s a great mobile app, and it’s also well-known on a big board-game website.
One of my first projects was an Augmented Reality game for iPhone. Not really a game, more a small experiment. I wanted to test physics toolkits. There are three balls that chase other bouncing balls you send.
“Ah, there it is, there it is, Chief,” cried all the others. “There’s the point. No one’s got a clearer head than you. You couldn’t have made it plainer.”
I programmed a lot in OCaml, so of course my next little project, I made it also in OCaml. I imagined a maze you can walk, with raytracing. On the web—so hobby, not serious—but I was curious for the challenge. The textures, I created them with Gemini from Google. The code, I asked Codex, no IDE. Later I opened it in VSC, but I changed nothing by hand.
My first larger project with Codex — juste a few evenings, big fun, very low entry barrier. I did not expect it, pas du tout, so much.
At times, it all unfolds in such a manner that one can do little more than sit there, gazing on in sheer bewilderment.
Technology often feels like it’s locked behind walls. On one side, people trying to live their lives, and on the other, systems packed with complexity, jargon, and rules. It’s not just about security—though that’s part of it—it’s also the sheer difficulty of understanding how it all works. These layers make the human world and the tech world hard to connect. We end up with two realities that exist next to each other but rarely blend. Bridging that gap isn’t just about better tools; it’s about making tech feel human, open, and accessible.
Vibe Programming is about setting the direction, not micromanaging details.
You don’t need to play every instrument — you guide the flow and let the system align itself.
Big goals: what should this thing achieve?
Rules to play by: like “keep it stateless” or “always encrypt.”
Style choices: event-driven, modular, microservices… pick the approach.
Flow: adapt as the team, context, and AI feedback shift.
It’s not easy to be an orchestra conductor — but it’s still far easier than trying to play the whole orchestra alone. That’s the essence of Vibe Programming.
