"Weeks of buzz, big promises, but did GPT-5 truly revolutionize my coding workflow? I spent 50 intensive hours leveraging GPT-5 and Cursor to resurrect an old Flutter project (MS Bridge), fix stubborn bugs, and integrate a host of new features. Dive into my candid experience to see if OpenAI's latest model lives up to the 'game-changer' claims for software engineers."
In this hands-on review, I put Cursor CLI and GPTβ5 to the test on a real Convex-based Python project. See how AI-powered terminal coding helped me refactor the UI, add charts, enable PDF exports, and build a multi-window local-first app β all without touching the cloud.
GPT-5 is finally here, and Iβve been putting it through its pacesβfrom fixing Google Tag Manager issues to designing UI, building a Jetpack Joyride clone, and even solving client projects via WhatsApp chat. Hereβs a real-world test drive of GPT-5βs capabilities, complete with humor, screenshots, and actual code. Nerds and non-nerds alike, welcome.
