My problem with codex/gpt that is too verbose (mostly js and python): a lot of helper functions, a lot of 1 or 2 line functions used in 1 place only, a lot of types or proxy like objects.

I have specific skills for trying to avoid this, but nevertheless I spent half of the time fighting with its verbosity.

Currently, I'm trying to scaffold the functions/classes I know I need with NotImpelmented and ask it to implement only inside those specific places. It's a little bit better, but I still have to fight with function in functions definitions ...
