Since Codex-5.3 came out it was my daily driver for everything: quick scripting, greenfield projects, new features on old projects...
Idk if it was the harness (OpenCode), my AGENT or my prompts, but I was getting exactly what I wanted, and quickly.
With GPT-5.5 it tries to play smart, takes much more times and is often stuck on basic stuff that DeepSeek solves oneshot.
