GPT-5 - Hype or Legit Amazing? Front End Developer's honest review

New day, New model. GPT-5 is announced, but here's the real question - Does GPT‑5 feel like a genuine leap forward for developers, or is the excitement overblown?

In this video, I evaluate GPT‑5 specifically within React and JavaScript development workflows, testing how it performs on real-world coding tasks rather than theoretical benchmarks.

What is covered in this video -

  1. Real coding scenarios with React and JS, showing whether GPT-5 generates clean, maintainable code.

  2. Comparisons against previous models (e.g., GPT-4o or other GPT versions), especially in frontend tasks.

  3. Observations on accuracy, style, and developer usability—does GPT-5 just “work,” or is it still messy or off-target?

  4. A verdict on whether GPT-5 is a practical upgrade for frontend developers, or if the excitement is mostly hype.
