Earlier quoted context omitted.

It matters to me. Claude code is more extensible. They put a lot of efforts to hooks and plugins. Codex may get the job done today. But Claude will evolve faster.

None of that matters if the model is worse. I say this as someone who uses both Claude Code and Codex all day every day — I agree with others in this thread that CC has much better UX and evolves faster, but I still use Codex more often because it's simply the better coder. Everything else is a distant second to model quality.

What kind of tasks are you having success with on codex? I’ve had the opposite experience. I’ll occasional compare solutions between the latest opus and codex with codex on x-high thinking. Sometimes I do get solution from codex that is impressive because it discovered an edge case that Claude missed.

I did notice that codex - like Claude - is now better about auto delegating to agents for keeping the context focused and agents in parallel.

I use Claude Code daily but kept forgetting commands, so I had Claude research every feature from the docs and GitHub, then generate a printable A4 landscape HTML page covering keyboard shortcuts, slash commands, workflows, skills system, memory/CLAUDE.md, MCP setup, CLI flags, and config files. It's a single HTML file - Claude wrote it and I iterated on the layout. A daily cron job checks the changelog and updates t…

Nicely looking page, but has too many errors. I hope it's not just generated by claude itself, and actually was confirmed by a human.

I double checked the end product, but I should have triple checked :) Fair enough. I am taking all the feedback into account and I am working on it today so all the issues are fixed and audited better for the future.

Why do we still need cryptic commands for an AI?

I think Claude strikes the right balance in that it works well by default - default models, now default agent delegation, planning. But, obviously for power users, you can tweak settings as needed. Worst case if you have a problem, you can just ask Claude. Also, by default, you see tips when starting up Claude.

It's missing the most important CLI flag! (--dangerously-skip-permissions)

If you're gonna do that, make sure you're sandboxing it with something like https://github.com/kstenerud/yoloai or eventually you'll have a bad time!

The Claude desktop (Mac at least) and iOS apps have a “code” feature that runs Claude in a sandbox running in their cloud. You can set this up to be surprisingly useful by whitelisting hosts and setting secrets as env variables. This allows me to have multi-repo explorations or change sets going while I drive to work. Claude will push branches to claude/…. We use GitHub at work. It may not be as seamless without it.

So, we replace everyone with a thing that doesn't even know itself? Nice!
