I agree because I don’t want to get fired or get audited
Doesn't seem ready for prime-time. I'll be impressed when it actually installs. npm ERR! code 1 npm ERR! path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@openai/codex/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep npm ERR! command failed npm ERR! command sh -c node ./lib/postinstall.js npm ERR! /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@openai/codex/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/lib/download.js:199 npm ERR! zipFile?.close();
codex cli has been out for 5 months with 170k weekly downloads - it's definitely 'ready for primetime' if you can get past your bug. I don't have that issue.

npm ERR! SyntaxError: Unexpected token '.'Very impressive. I've been working on a shared background presence animation, and have been testing out Claude and Codex. (By shared presence, I mean imagine a page's background changing based on where everyone's cursor is) Both were struggling yesterday, with Claude being a bit ahead. Their biggest problems came with being "creative" (their solutions were pretty "stock"), and they had trouble making the simulation.…
LLM designed UIs will always look generic/stock if you don’t give it additional prompting because of how LLMs work - they’ve memorized certain design patterns and if you don’t specify what you want they will always default to a certain look.
Try adding additional UI instructions to your prompts. Tell it what color scheme you want, what design choices you prefer, etc. Or tell it to scan your existing app’s design and try to match it. Often the results will be much better this way.

i just use aider + gemini pro, here's the project i developed: https://aretecodex.pages.dev/tools/
Why not Gemini CLI tho?
If you ask it to plan something or suggest something. It'll write the suggestion and dive right into implementation with zero hesitation.
From my observation of the past 2 weeks is that Claude Code is getting dramatically worse and super low usage quota's while OpenAI Codex is getting great and has a very generous usage quota in comparison. For people that have not tried it in say ~1 month, give Codex CLI a try.
My essentials for any coding agent are proper whitelists for allowed commands (you can run uv run , but rm requires approval every time) and customisable slash commands.
I can live without hooks and subagents.

It is 100% true. And they are rapidly losing users to Codex. Charts were shared recently showing a massive migration underway.
Oh yeah, Sonnet performance has been in the toilet for me. They claim they've mitigated it but when 4.0 first dropped CC was really impressive, and now I constantly have to babysit it because any time it hits a challenge it'll just stop trying and make a simple toy version and declare false victory. If I don't catch it and I let it build on top of that bullshit, things get nasty in a hurry. It's a shame because the p…
I am also bullying Claude more nowadays. Seeing this thread, I might give Codex another go (I was on Codex CLI before Claude Code. At that time, Claude blew Codex out of the water but something's changed)

I still like aider but multi-step agentic flows are very useful so I mostly use codex and claude nowadays. If I want to do very specific edits I use aider.
I don't find multiple agents helpful at all for coding, here you can see i am running a modded aider and single shot most features, https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCoding/comments/1nh7bu1/3_ph... I also use claude or codex but i do not find them much useful for what i do.
