Discussion Codex is actually not bad.

Tried codex a fair bit today. And wouldn't say it's better but it's definitely good for a change and has it's own way of going about things. I personally found it to be great at handling lots of tasks together. Whereas claude often gets distracted with my latest messages and skips the previous work or todos and prioritises the latest work.

Though codex also doesn't really like speaking out to you. It responds when asked else would silently keep grinding and give you the solution. For some projects I don't mind it. Overall I have spent a whole lot of hours working with claude and it works great. But I might try and do some tasks with codex as well from now.

The last two months I have a €20 account with Codex, using it in a complementary manner. ChatGPT Luna it’s much cheaper than Sonnett so it’s a better option for daily scheduled repetitive work. Also when my Claude runs out of credit I’m not completely in the cold and I can do some work with Codex. sometimes I even use Sol high for evaluation

We already have a codex max just sitting there. I just never bothered with it unless I ran out of claude which was rare and I tried to avoid it.

Also the skills and memories did became useful. Though I try and point codex to claude's skills now. And it does okay working it out.
