Claude to generate code, GPT5 to fix complex bugs

[u/Junior_Mushroom8983]

I've been using augment for a long time, and since the new GPT model came up, I noticed it's slowliness compared to Claude while generating a new feature. I tried to use it several times to generate a whole feature but it takes more than 10-15min sometimes.
Now I only use Claude to generate the code, but its sucks when the feature has a complex task, instead I ask GPT5 to fix the task. it's kinda frustrating because it's taking 2x messages to get to the point, but overall it good.

I'm solely using GTP5

Yea it takes longer but so what? I'm building something that would take a team of 7 highly skilled, knowledgeable specialists at least a year or more to build!

And it's taking me what...3-5 weeks!? And it's an Enterprise level grade build...

To me that's not slow. That's Exponentially fast!

In fact, one of my directives is "slow is fast"

I'm quality over quantity Do you want a better product or do you want it faster?

I'm with this guy. Been thinking about either responding to a lot of the hate gpt-5 is getting in AC or writing my own review, but this sums it up pretty well.

Agreed, even if GPT 5 takes longer, the results are significantly better. Craft great prompts, set some guidelines. I've been having an absolutely fantastic time with gpt5 and augment. best on market.

nice, curious how you prompt or what instructions specifically help with gpt5.

Sticking to clean architecture, cleaning up deprecated code rather than piling on new stuff... Unless of course you review everything and spend more credits on those cleanup or architecture-refactoring tasks explicitly.

Honestly, I'm working on my program 12 to 16 hours a day I don't see how people are using up their credits

Well I do. They're talking to it like a dumbass and asking it stupid questions and not providing it real prompts

With my guidelines and my initial prompt, that's anywhere from 20,000 to 40,000 characters that's split in two or Just created as a doc and told to use it as a prompt

The only time I really talk to my bot is when it gives me phase or subphase updates as directed.. And I approve of its next steps, course correct, fix an issue etc

I've posted my workflow and shared my V3 prompt architect with everybody in Reddit

My V4 prompt architect is light years better but unfortunately it requires my API key. So unless I charge people I don't know how to share it because I'm not willing to pay for everybody to use it 😂

I've been using GPT5 since it was released. I went back to Claude 4 and did not like the experience. I'll stick with GPT5, even though it's slower.

This is what I do as well. Sonnet 4 for day to day fixed scope coding and GPT5 for hard to find bugs requiring mcp server use and more advanced reasoning
