> Codex is more hands off, I personally prefer that over claude's more hands-on approach

Agree, and it's a nice reflection of the individual companie's goals. OpenAI is about AGI, and they have insane pressure from investors to show that that is still the goal, hence codex when works they could say look it worked for 5 hours! Discarding that 90% of the time it's just pure trash.

While Anthropic/Boris is more about value now, more grounded/realistic, providing more consistent hence trustable/intuitive experience that you can steer. (Even if Dario says the opposite). The ceiling/best case scenario of a claude code session is a bit lower than Codex maybe, but less variance.





Well, if you had tried using GPT/Codex for development you would know that the output from those 5 hours would not be 90% trash, it would be close to 100% pure magic. I'm not kidding. It's incredible as long as you use a proper analyze-plan-implement-test-document process.
