for me I don't understand codex the same way I don't understand gemini.

In my day to day tasks the only models that actually do what I want are the antrophic ones all other ones just fall flat on their face most of the time and end up creating more work than antrophic models.

I wonder if it's because I tend to abuse my models and constantly tell them that they're stupid

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. 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 think I'm partly responsible. I've been having a lot of fun with these tools, and so seeing other people doing the same just makes me want to engage even if the discussion isn't particularly sophisticated. I swear I'm not paid to do this (actually I pay out the wazoo for Claude..)

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

Need to go to conferences and actually talk to people to understand what Real People (TM) think of GenAI.

And what would that be ? Please make me save a plane ticket

The struggle is real. When you say, "do this but don't do that" and it does "that", you know AGI is only a step away.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’ll tell you something. I love working with Claude. It’s enthusiastic, it’s nice, it’ll give you suggestions. It’s an all around pleasant experience. I hate working with codex. It feels like a machine. You tell it to do something, and it just does it. No pretension at being human, or enthusiastic, or anything really. But codex almost always does it right. And the comments are right, I never run into random usage lim…

Personally I prefer Codex's less-chatty nature nice. I prefer to save my human emotions for humans.

I'm totally on board with some people preferring that. I don't. However I do prefer my AI assistant to work.

I'm still using cursor and it seems fine. What does CC and Codex offer that's so much better than Cursor. Idgi

it has a fatal flaw: 80% of the screen is taken up by the code editor window and a file explorer. Why do you need to waste 80% of your screen on things you don't use anyway?

I like each at different times in different ways. Now I have both running in separate Tmux panes and have one talk to the other to ask/delegate/verify/validate, using my Tmux-cli tool (now a Claude skill of course):

Now my work on a project often spans multiple sessions of these agents. So I use a session-finder and resume/dump tool (also in that repo). I often ask Claude or codex to extract all useful details from a jsonl session log file so I can continue the work.
