Not sure how Claude and CC has become the defacto best model given gpt 5.3 codex and 5.4 exist. This space moves so fast you should be testing your workflows on different models at least once every quarter, prudently once a month.

I've been an avid fan of codex for the last few month's but finally hit the weekly limit so I've wanted to try out claude code before biting the bullet and going for the 200 dollar codex sub.

Obviously in hindsight it would be unfair to Anthropic to judge them on an unstable day so I'l leave those complaints aside but I hit the session limit way too fast. I planned out 3 tasks and it couldn't finish the first plan completely, for that implementation task it has seen a grand total of 1 build log and hasn't even run any tests which already caused it to enter in the red territory of the context circle.

It was even asking me during planning which endpoints the new feature should use to hook into the existing system, codex would never ask this and just simply look these up during planning and whenever it encounters ambiguity it would either ask straight away or put it as an open question. I have to wonder if they're limiting this behavior due trying to keep the context as small as possible and preventing even earlier session limits.

Maybe codex's limits are not sustainable in the long run and I'm very spoiled by the limits but at this point CC(sonnet) and Codex(5.4) are simply not in the same league when comparing both 20 dollar subscriptions.

I will also clearly state that the value both these tools provide at these price points are absolutely worth it, it's just that codex's value/money ratio is much better.

What, that businesses lie?

It’s like most lifetime warranties. They’re not what they seem to mean colloquially. They have a contractual meaning.

Or my grocery store that has certain products with signs "Always $n" but over the past 5+ years n has increased regularly and dramatically.

> they risk brand death like Microsoft Is Microsoft (one of the largest companies in the world) really a victim of brand death?

have you ever met a person who likes outlook?

Anyone who’s ever tried Lotus Notes.

Alternatively, the elephant in the room I'm surprised no one wants to talk about: the vibe coding is catching up with them.

That's not an elephant in the room.. it's just proof of how insanely useful the tool is and the reality that so much more hardware is needed. Thus people saying "why are these companies building insanely large data centers" ... this is why!

I think it is telling that this audience down votes this. It's kind of obvious that the thing is being used a lot. Doesn't mean it works as well as advertised. Doesn't mean the business model they have works. Just means there is a lot of demand. You can't ignore that.

As much as people on Hacker News complain about subscription models for productivity and creativity suites, the open arms embrace of subscription development tools (services, really) which seek to offload the very act itself makes me wonder how and why so many people are eager to dive right in. I get it. LLMs are cool technology. Is this a symptom of the same phenomenon behind the deluge of disposable JavaScript fram…

> if instead of LLMs, this were some other tool or service, reactions to these events would have been far more pragmatic, with less of a reticence to invest time on in-house solutions when dealing with flaky vendors

As an example, a long term goal at the employer I work for is exactly this: run LLMs locally. There's a big infrastructure backlog through, so it's waiting on those things, and hopefully we'll see good local models by then that can do what Claude Sonnet or GPT-5.3-Codex can do today.

I think most people understand the need for subscriptions here. It is an ongoing massive compute cost, and that’s what you’re paying for. Your local system is not capable of running the massive amount of compute required for this. If it were then we would see more people up in arms about it.

Mounting evidence that claude max users are put into one big compute fuel pool. Demand increased dramatically with OpenAI's DoD PR snafu (even though Anth was already working with the DoD? But I digress...). The pool hit a ceiling. Anth has no compute left to give. Hence people maxing out after 1 query. "Working on it" means finding a way to distill Claude Code that isn't enough of a quality degradation to be noticed…

I was vacationing! What's up with OpenAI now? Asking with some morbid curiosity tbh.

Codex switched to paid API tokens only. Not to mention their alignment with the department of war.

I really enjoy coding. I've build a number of projects, personal and professional, with Python, Rust, Java and even some Scala in the mix. However, I've been addicted to Claude Code recently, especially with the superpowers skill. It feels like I can manifest code with my mind. When developing with Claude, I am presented with design dilemmas, architectural alternatives, clarification questions, things that really make me think about the problem. I then choose a solution, propose alternatives, discuss, and the code manifests. I came to realize that I enjoy the problem solving, not the actual act of writing the code. Like I have almost cloned my self, and my clones are working on the projects and coming back to me for instructions. It feels amazing
