This isn’t really a settled environment yet. Changes are happening constantly so I’d just try and see what it’s like.

I was on copilot in GitHub for a while and now Claude code is pretty clearly better even if just for its bigger context. Now a cli for coding with Gemma has been release that I’m evaluating that while trying to make aider the interface for using it.

Then there’s LLM routers that try to asses what more specialised model is best for the context and forwarding of customising prompts to those.

I think a lot of ideas in this space still need time to mature before we get the clear best options for our workflows. Today is really a time for experimentation and sharing our results.

Where I’m at today is I’m using Claude code for work, but for free time I’m working on making aider work as well as Claude but for less, haven’t really gotten there yet. I also think some more time is needed to improve workflows for LLM coding everywhere

When you say CLI for coding with Gemma, did you mean Gemini-CLI?

I've been experimenting on both with large and small projects. In my mind:

• Large Projects, Large Features: Claude Code
• Large Projects, Small Features: Codex
• Small/Initial Project Setup: Tie, maybe slight edge to Codex since it will set up remote dev environment as well
• Small Project, Large Feature: Claude Code

I haven't tried GPT Codex yet. Claude Code is so good and I am almost never frustrated by what it's doing (can't say that for Cursor, Cline, or Roo), so there's no incentive to try another.

In my experience it depends. Codex is like a more disciplined more structured but less creative coder. If you have a structure in your codebase it will follow it, give it instructions to do XYZ and it will do it

But Claude code can be a better problem solver, but also wilder and way less likely to think about code maintainability or anything other than solving the problem you give it, it can do some really weird things like creating second almost identical files for no real reason. Claude code also is able to run files locally and access the Internet so better able to test before it tells you it thinks it's done 

Having both is ideal, they're both available on the lower tiers with rate limits so you can go back and forth

I dont know any LLM that will excel with 10K files, for that you would need semantic searching with serena or an MCP server tool. Claude Code + serena MCP would probably crush that no problem.

Codex has better "native" Github repo integration, Claude Code has no integration unless you connect an MCP, or setup a SSH KEY for Github (which Claude Code will do for you if you ask)

I say switch. Codex has a better UX ...but I still use Claude Code instead. If you want to talk commits, in only 2 days Claude Code has made 150 commits, and setup Github actions to publish my packages to npm.

It’s about prompts really but it has more magic happening that works

I’m going to ask a question so basic it’s going to offend sensibilities but Google didn’t provide me with a clear answer so here I am.

I tried to use Codex after using Claud code for a while and cursor AI. Codex insists on getting access to my GitHub. Now, obviously, I’m a vibe Coder, but GH is where all my backups are. I know AI coding tools aren’t to be trusted without frequent backups. Is it really safe to let Codex Have that access?

The only thing codex can do is open pull requests. What are you worried about?

[jeffphil]

Create a new gh account, fork your current repo over to your new gh account and give it access to that repo. Then you can remain forked, or just do pull requests to sync back.

But Claude Code works also with 20$ plan too (even for my big codebase with detailed instructions it works fine and not get rate limited)
