[HIGH] Yes, time consuming…
I don’t know about you all, but backend work has always been the part of development that feels like a grind, debugging, scaling, handling APIs, setting up deployment pipelines, keeping everything secure. It’s time-consuming and honestly, not the most exciting part of building an app.
That’s why GPT-5 Codex has blown my mind. It’s not just helping me out with code, it’s literally acting like a full backend engineer. Here’s what I’ve seen it do:
Fix and optimize backend logic automatically (less time stuck in error hell).
Handle integrations and APIs without me sweating the details.
Generate secure, production-grade code that’s not just toy examples.
Deploy entire apps on enterprise platforms like Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure with almost zero setup on my end.
The crazy part? It doesn’t just spit out code, it understands the whole lifecycle, from writing and debugging to actually deploying and scaling. It feels like having a DevOps + backend team on demand.
If this is where AI-assisted coding is heading, we’re about to see the biggest productivity jump in software engineering since GitHub itself.
Has anyone else here tried letting AI handle deployment yet? Curious if your experience has been the same.
