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
