Well. FWIW, I find the 4o model does a worse job at coding than a newbie intern 
would do. That should appeal to you because you’ll have to put far more effort 
into reviewing the code than if it were a more experienced coder.

If you want to get much better quality work, pay that outrageous fee of $20 /mo 
(the cost of a large Supreme pizza) and go with o3-mini-High. It’s optimized 
for coding tasks.

It should go without saying that since there’s so much logic embedded in most 
run-time libs you never get a chance to exercise your chops on any of those 
functions either. I don’t find anybody complaining about that, they just keep 
asking for more enhancements.
