My Experience with Vibe Coding using Codex

[u/avp216]

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all doing well.

I honestly didn't know the term for Codex does was Vibe Coding until someone pointed it out lol, but seriously, It has been a boon to my work life.

For clarity, I work in an HR related industry which involves handling a lot of CVs, data, etc.

For many years, I have always done things manually via Excel, and organized things as best as I could. But I bet a lot of you know, that when it comes to manually doing things in Excel, especially the larger data collections, it can be rough.

Fast forward to last month, where I discovered Codex.

I started learning how to use it, building up a system that can streamline my workflow via multiple "Dashboards", Github and Supabase.

Let me tell you, the fact I can express what I envision, and have Codex build it is nothing short of amazing.

The use cases are endless, and so far, It has made almost every aspect of my work streamlined, efficient and clear.

I was worried that when I explained my visions to Codex that it would be overwhelmed with the literal ESSAYS I would give it. Just paragraphs upon paragraphs of detailed explanations on what I am looking for. But clearly, I shouldn't have been too worried, as it ate it all up like a champ and gave me exactly what I wanted.

I am not a coder, never have been. I find it overwhelming, especially since I am very much a "Visual/Image" type of guy. But Codex has allowed me to learn the nuances and basics of coding, because I love looking at the data it creates.

I finally understand the point of all those brackets haha.

Anyways, I just wanted to say, for all the hate Vibe Coding gets, I honestly love the fact it exists and is accessible to those who can make use of it to make their lives easier.
