As we all know here, if the the title of this post was about Codex on the web, the top comment would have been about using Claude instead.

YMMV, but this definitely doesn't track with everything I've been seeing and hearing, which is that Codex is inferior to Claude on almost every measure.





fwiw I'm happy to see this - been trying to tackle a hairy problem (rendering bugs) and both models fail, but:

1. Codex takes longer to fail and with less helpful feedback, but tends to at least not produce as many compiler errors 2. Claude fails faster and with more interesting back-and-forth, though tends to fail a bit harder

Neither of them are fixing the problems I want them to fix, so I prefer the faster iteration and back-and-forth so I can guide it better

So it's a bit surprising to me when so many people are pickign a "clear winner" that I prefer less atm
