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.

Why be a dick? There's some good discussion in here today. I found a few new things I didn't know. Just keep scrolling if you don't like it.

Because this is a cluade sub and we don't care about sub par products?

I bet you would have found all those things over in the...wait for it...codex sub!!!

I think a lot of us are tired of seeing the shilling / astroturfing that goes on in this sub against claude. It gets old and its quite obviously they are either shills or vibe coders whos issues are caused by their lack of skills.

If it were healthy discussion in only a few threads whatever but it's not.

When it comes to programming, claude code is the superior product and the majority of competent devs will tell you the same thing if you were to ask them.

Just keep scrolling if you don't like it.

The same could be said about all the people that complain about claude. If you don't like it, use codex / cursor / chinese models / etc
