And this is a pretty good one too. But I guess the mods might want to keep things a bit balanced which is fair enough.
They all still sucks big time and this won't change with a better prompt or model, there's no breakthrough and compared to 6 months ago they did not get that much better.
The thing that changed in the past six months is that tool calling in a loop got really good, and a bunch of new tools - like OpenAI Codex and Claude Code - showed up that take full advantage of that.
I don't think my "build a scraper from my phone with a single prompt" example from this post would have worked six months ago - the tooling wasn't there yet.
Even if that is true (which I disagree), isn't it telling that only yourself are impressed by it?

It's also <div> soup and largely inaccessible.
These and other issues could be fixed fairly quickly with a little care (if anyone cares).

Yeah, it turns out those speaker avatar images are 1MB+ PNGs! And there are 170 of them.
What a fantastic cautionary tale about vibe-coding on a mobile phone (where performance analysis tools aren't easily available.)
I just fixed that with Codex - thanks for the tip: https://chatgpt.com/s/cd_6879631d99c48191b1ab7f84dfab8dea
As far as accessibility goes... yeah, the lack of semantic markup is pretty shocking! I'll remember to prompt for that next time I try anything like this.
I just tried it in VoiceOver on iOS and the page was at least navigable - the buttons for the days work - but yeah, I'd be very ashamed to ship something like this if it wasn't a 20 minute demo (and I'm a bit ashamed even given that.)
I'm running "Make open-sauce-2025.html accessible to screenreaders" in Codex now to see what happens.

could that be solved by prefixing every prompt with a reminder?

These things are becoming more and more humanlike every day
