I wonder why people don’t just use Amp Code and use the Oracle. It’s Sonnet 4.5 + GPT-5 working together. Codex just isn’t as good as people make it out to be. OpenAI seems to train on a lot of JavaScript/Tailwind to make visuals look more impressive but when it comes to actual backend work it just fails more than it succeeds. Sonnet is much better at chewing through tasks and GPT 5 is great at consulting planning an…

Not sure what your twitter comment is about, I use it and I’ve just never heard of this product. Looks cool, I will give it a test.

Might be who you follow but it seems everyone is talking about it more and more but I never see it mentioned on HN at all. So I figure the AI enthusiasts here aren’t on Twitter. (Just an assumption)

Worth trying out. The free version doesn’t have the oracle so I use the paid version.

Can you share an example of the tasks you found Codex being much better? From my experience Claude Code is much better.

I'm on the same page here. I have seen this sentiment about Codex suddenly being good a few times now, so I booted Codex CLI thinking-high back up after a break and asked it to look for bugs. It promptly found five bugs that didn't actually exist. It was the kind of truly impressively stupid mistake that I haven't seen Claude Code make essentially ever , and made me wonder if this isn't the sort of thing that's makin…

In my case codex fixed a bug in one shot. Took 10 min to debug and find it.

Claude struggled long time and still didn’t find.

I have never seen such a bunch of uncreative people who have never written a real application, never done anything artistic, never said anything intelligent try to ruin software development to the extent that the "AI" companies do. They want to turn everything into a bootstrap framework, which is probably the limit of their mental horizon. And many people maintain that the emperor is fully clothed and that the scam w…

Your comment has a bit of the "old man screams at clouds" feel to it.

I find Codex CLI to be very good too, but it’s missing tons of features that I use in Claude Code daily that keep me from switching full time. - Good bash command permission system - Rollbacks coupled with conversation and code - Easy switching between approval modes (Claude had a keybind that makes this easy) - Ability to send messages while it’s working (Codex just queues them up for after it’s done, Claude injects…

I don't think anyone can reasonably argue against Claude Code being the most full-featured and pleasant to use of the CLI coding agent tools. Maybe some people like the Codex user experience for idiosyncratic reasons, but it (like Gemini CLI) still feels to me rather thrown together - a Claude Clone with a lot of rough edges. But these CLI tools are still fairly thin wrappers around an LLM. Remember: they're "just an…

I think this is because they see it as a checkbox whereas Anthropic sees it as a primary feature. OpenAI and Google just have to invest enough to kill Anthropic off and then decide what their own vision of coding agents looks like.

We were heavy users of Claude Code ($70K+ spend per year) and have almost completely switched to codex CLI. I'm doing massive lifts with it on software that would never before have been feasible for me personally, or any team I've ever run. I'll use Claude Code maybe once every two weeks as a second set of eyes to inspect code and document a bug, with mixed success. But my experience has been that initially Claude Co…

Im not saying this is a paid endorsement but the internet is dead and I wonder what openAI would pay, if they could, to get such a glowing review as top comment on HN

I completely agree with this. The amount of unprompted “I used to love Claude Code but now…” content that follows the exact same pattern feels really off. All of these people post without any prompts for comparison, and OP even refused to share specifics so we have to take his claim as ‘trust me bro’

I agree!! But this repo

Fixed all of these in a heartbeat. This has been a game changer

The most interesting parts of this to me are somewhat buried: - Claude Code has been added to iOS - Claude Code on the Web allows for seamless switching to Claude Code CLI - They have open sourced an OS-native sandboxing system which limits file system and network access _without_ needing containers However, I find the emphasis on limiting the outbound network access somewhat puzzling because the allowlists invariabl…

Link to the GitHub for the native sandboxing: https://github.com/anthropic-experimental/sandbox-runtime

Could this be used for Xcode-server? I dont like how it has access to full host filesystem

It doesn't feel off to me because that's the exact experience I've had as well. So it's unsurprising to me that many other people share that experience. I'm sure there is a bunch of paid promotion going on for all kinds of stuff on HN (especially what gets onto the front page), but I don't think this is one of those cases.

I'm not saying it is, but if ANYTHING was the exact combination of prerequisites to be considered paid promotion on HN, this is the type of comment it would be.
