Re: Claude Code on the web

#281

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

Are you really going to call someone a shill? I’d argue that you’re why the internet is dying - a million options and you had to choose the most offensive?

Now that this hosted CC is achieved, next up, I think scheduled workflows would be coming. For example, certain open-source repositories host data files scraped regularly from sources via scheduled GitHub Actions, that could be simplified.

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.

Oh cool, can you share concrete examples of times codex out performed Claude Code? I’m my experience both tools needs to be carefully massaged with context to fulfill complex task.

Nobody has to give you examples. People can express opinions. If you disagree, that’s fine but requesting entire prompt and response sets is quite demanding. Who are you to be that demanding?

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.

So, let’s see if I get this straight. A highly identifiable person whose company sells a security product is the ideal shill? That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. On the other hand, someone with a different opinion makes complete sense.

so hey by the way, have you discovered Wispr Flow or something similar so you can talk to your computer like Scotty does?

Yeah I've tried it a bit it's not a habit for me yet. I write code on my phone a lot using ChatGPT voice mode though!

I also use voice mode a lot, I find it's really useful for talking to while you're shaping an idea or an approach, then asking it to summarise the decisions you've made. Essentially rubber ducking.

I wish this was integrated with GitHub actions, as there I can configure the environment, give it access to tools. The GitHub Actions integration is already fairly good, but having this interactive web UI would be perfect.

For what it's worth, I'm not affiliated with Open AI (you can verify by my comment history [1] and account age) and I agree with the top comment. I do Elixir consulting primarily and nothing beats OpenAI's model at the moment for Elixir. Previously, their O3 models were quite decent. But, GPT-5 is really damn good. Claude code will unnecessarily try to complicate a problem solution. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/i…

Personally I found Claude to be relatively OK at Elixir. With a lot of hand holding. My main problem when it comes to Elixir and Erlang is many amount of files. For that kind of boilerplate, it is good. Otherwise just use "erlang-skels.el" with Emacs. :D
