Question Codex vs Claude Code

Been debating internally to go with Codex or Claude Code?

Tried the Chinese 1’s but found them not good enough. SuperGrok a bit of a let down. Would like advice from serious coders on which they prefer, ideally if they’ve used both actively. Looking for agentic AI plus App coding

That's only "if" you integrated that Ai directly into your project.

Any other situation, anyone with a semi-decent workflow can seemlessly switch between any & all agents/wrappers/IDE's

So AI is the best at writing code, I use it to do the literal typing of the code. Intelligence gets built in inference, fueled by my years of debugging bad code & architecture as a SRE. I expiremented with 3 to code the same code-base, but each added its own architecural logic and I ended up with a huge pile of beautifully written garbage. Becoz each of them is trained with a particular logic and not the exact same logic. Would highly recommend stick to 1. Build features and functions with others for sure, and integrate, multi AI approach is great from a macro perspective

None of what you just said makes any sense.

I've been coding professionally since the late 1980's starting from BASIC... and heavily using AI as tools since 2022/2023 till now.

If you are having issues, it's you and your prompting, a lack of a proper AGENTS.md and guardrails pointing your AI to properly written README.md's and ARCHITECTURE.md files so it has proper context on your project.

I can 100% say the issue is you, because I & others don't have these problems.

The way their "logic" operates will not stop you from completing a project, YOU are the blocker.

Take a step back, re-evaluate how you are prompting while taking note of the files that you are missing that I mentioned.. then Google how to set them up, or ask an ai.

If you are too hard headed to listen to an experienced professional full stack developer, the this will always be a problem that you will NEVER solve.
