I’ve been using Codex w GPT 5.5 more than Claude Code recently. I think Anthropic won the marketing game because Codex is quite good, even better IME.
Can you move it to background connection?
I do feel like for all their dogfooding of AI coding, their own software/APIs are quite buggy and work against their message. Claude Code is especially buggy in windows terminal. The rendering is quite slow, choppy and lines frequently get garbled. In contrast, using antigravity cli is the exact opposite: fast, smooth and very responsive.
> in windows terminal This is an aside, but I'm really struck by how many people on HN use Windows (based on repeated mentions I've seen in comments). I've worked for a pretty wide range of companies over the last decade and only one, maybe two companies even had any people that worked on Windows machines. I haven't worked at a company where devs used Windows in 15 years (and even that company eventually switched to…
Windows really has a fantastic support for C++ and rendering programmers imho, the tooling is world class and Visual Studio has no match as an IDE. Even if somehow my tools worked on Mac or Linux I'd still pick windows out of sheer convenience of using it for work.
But as things stand - all major console toolchains are windows only. If you're making a game for PlayStation, Xbox or Switch, you have to be on windows.

Or pi.dev - also super fast and simple. Claude Code is sluggish, buggy, slow. Typical big enterprise garbage. The only good thing at Anthropic are the models.
This is every few weeks, I cancelled Anthropic and now use Codex only. Anthropic has been a hot mess since at least december in my usage, and has only gotten worse in 2026.

FWIW Codex TUI is written (in large part) in Rust and is way less buggy, and a lot faster. When I was a regular Claude Code user I'd routinely get bizarre "scroll everything since the beginning of time in one massive flash on every update" bugs ... for months. Like, just there from the time I started using it in June '25 or so until I quit in March. I prefer it over opencode, which is my other option I use with my Co…
That particular bug seems to be gone. I'm using my own Ruby terminal, and it's more than fast enough for normal stuff, but it made that bug 10x more painful so I am particularly sensitive to it... Not seen it at all recently.

I have my qualms with Anthropic/Claude but they've also had to scale unfathomably fast and that is just hard to do regardless.
Yes but many of the challenges directly contradict the idea that "coding is a solved problem"
Coding is probably solved, at least to a large extent, but that doesn't mean engineering is solved too.
This is like someone saying that the wright brothers solved sustained/powered human flight, and another person saying "well if that's the case, why do planes still crash? obviously flight isn't solved.". Well, there are always improvements, but planes can fly and llm's can code.

It's not just Windows where the rendering goes to shit immediate: any time I've got it open in tmux on Linux, it becomes a basket case in probably a few hours or less.

Claude code + tmux is SO buggy. Things rendering all over the place.
Is this a new regression for others? I feel like I used it in a tmux setup without issues for 6+ months and only recently am I forced to Ctrl+L or resize the window constantly.
