There seems to be constant stream of not terribly interesting or unique “my Claude code/codex success story” blog posts that mange to solicit so many upvotes.
I take issue with the AI industry in general and the hand-wavy approach to risk, but OpenAI really is on another level in my book. While I don't trust the industry's approach to AI development, with OpenAI I don't trust the leaderships' intentions.
In my experience gpt5-codex (medium) and codex-cli is notably better than Sonnet 4.5 and claude-code. (note: never tried Opus) It is slower, but the results are much more often correct and it doesn't rush into half-baked solutions/dumb approaches as eagerly. I'd much rather wait 5 minutes than have to clean up manually or try to coax a model into doing things differently. I also wouldn't be surprised if the slowness…
As far as which one is better, it's highly dependent on what we're each doing, but I will say that I have this one project where bare "make" won't work, and I have a script that needs to be run instead. I have instructions to call that script in multiple .md files, and codex is able to call the script instead of make, but it keeps forgetting that and tries to run make which fails and it gets confused. (Claude code running on macOS host but build on Linux vm.) I could work around it, but that really takes the "shiny" factor off of codex+GPT-5 for me.
Reading the comments and posts about both Claude Code and Codex on Reddit (and often hacker news), it’s hard to imagine they’re not extremely astroturfed.

Ah bots analyzing bots. Seems openai has a larger bot army than Anthropic rn

this is obviously pure conjecture, but perhaps the OE folks had automated their multiple roles and now they need to be more involved.
Its interesting to me that Codex has such high sentiment. I'm definitely an outlier on the more principled end of the spectrum, but I refuse to use OpenAI products.

Me too, so much so that I doubt this is legitimate. This blog post is the only place I've seen people 'raving' about codex.
Claude Code is the current standard all others are measured against.

Meanwhile I am talking about unique shit with Claude Code trying to draft on that sentiment for little to no traction with them. We've built the best way to automate and manage production infrastructure using these models and no one gives a shit. It's so weird.
