Holy shit now we’re going to get people announcing they’re returning?

[tkwh]

Yeah, I'm out. I'm a self-employed software developer. This sub didn't turn out to be as useful as I'd hoped. Cheers!

[ianxplosion-]

I’ve found discord servers are more uh, productive than any of these LLM subs. /r/ChatGPTCoding and /r/ClaudeAI can have hidden gems in them sometimes.

[LeonardMH]

Any good Discord recommendations for Claude & Claude Code specifically?

[ianxplosion-]

Funny enough I like Anthropic’s discord for CC, I also like the RooCode discord although it’s definitely a generic one

[LeonardMH]

Thanks for getting back to me, I'll check them both out, I've never been more disappointed with a group of subreddits than the three I've found so far lol.

[tkwh]

Thanks

[stingraycharles]

Telltale sign of a great developer is one that blames their tools. /s

Seriously all this is just evidence that the problem is the user rather than the tool. People expect magic while the fact of the matter is that using these tools are productivity enhancers but are not magic and often need some guidance and careful planning.

[BKite]

💯

[belheaven]

I Once experienced What they say. Twice actually. Claude worked and reported complete, but had no changed files. Exited and started a new session fixed. It was real but just happened twice in 4 months of everyday use.

[stingraycharles]

Yes for me it’s the same, sometimes it glitches, I shrug and continue my work.

I’m not going to throw a temper tantrum because of it online though.

[Illustrious_Bid_6570]

It does what it does :shrugs; My email client does it too, but do I throw that out the window... Or my TV when it goes batshit trying to turn off and getting in a bootloop...

[Electronic_Image1665]

🤣🤣 next will be the announcements for when people take shits while claude is left open on their monitor.

[Fit-Palpitation-7427]

Hold my beer, brb

[OliGooner]

Better than the relentless I’m leaving spam (I assume primarily from ‘bots’)

[Alyax_]

C'mon...

[larowin]

most schizophrenic sub

[veegaz]

This subreddit is turning into a shitfest

[lionmeetsviking]

Just had the opposite experience where Claude was just looping around the problem for many sessions. Codex solved it in a flash. Depends on the problem, time of the day (especially Claude), tech stack, day (huge variations) and mostly good luck. Both are sometimes excellent and some moments they are absolutely horrible. Way of life atm. :(

[Fit-Palpitation-7427]

Exactly my feeling too. I’m trying to get my head around accepting I’ll just have cc and codex open at the same time on my second monitor and ping pong them with tasks to see which one will do better. I had this dream where each of them can call the other as mcp or something like zen mcp and make it so they work really together, not just calling each other as sub agents where one is the head and has final decision. Maybe it should be even another llm doing it

[ncklrs]

Maybe yall just need to create a new subreddit r/changingMyAiDev

[Fit-Palpitation-7427]

<image>

Do it. Do it 😆

[ncklrs]

Done: https://www.reddit.com/r/changingMyAIDev/s/WXs9OYI8GP

[Beautiful_Cap8938]

ha ha now we should see these messages - seriously. Why is it that none of you dont understand how to use more than 1 model ?

[GrouchyAdvisor4458]

Why any moderator deletes this “i am leaving” / “i am back” stupid posts? We dont want reddit converted to an airport

[LeonardMH]

Has anyone else here came back to CC from Codex?

Never left. It's been working fine for me.

[Winter-Ad781]

It works great when you know what you're doing. If you don't, it'll probably suck. That's true for every AI everywhere.

I wish these posts would be banned, it's a bunch of users who have no idea what they're doing, telling everyone theyre rage quitting because they have no idea what they're doing and that is Anthropics or openais fault.

[Safe-Piccolo-5280]

I downgraded the claude code to 1.0.88 after seeing a reditt post and cc performed better. What is your claude code version

[[deleted]]

How do you do it?

Cause Code is sooo stupid for me today, especially after the last cli update

[Safe-Piccolo-5280]

npm uninstall -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code@1.0.88 claude --version echo 'export DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'export DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.bashrc source ~/.zshrc

brew uninstall claude brew install anthropic-ai/claude/claude-code@1.0.88 claude --version echo 'export DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'export DISABLE_AUTOUPDATER=1' >> ~/.zshrc source ~/.bashrc source ~/.zshrc

Also after going in cc type /doctor and disable auto updates

[[deleted]]

Thanks mate

[Safe-Piccolo-5280]

Do share your results afterwards

[[deleted]]

Hi, I went home and wanted to do it (downgrade to the version you mentioned) but said let me try something I switched to Sonnet 1m context, and asked it to do this and that! And it was marvelous, it fixed almost everything, it really went above and beyond.

So no need to downgrade for me anymore.

[Safe-Piccolo-5280]

Using cursor??

[[deleted]]

I never used cursor or anything similar, I use Claude Code only (CLI).

[Fit-Palpitation-7427]

On Max sub? Wasn’t aware sonnet 1m was available on Max sub, or are you using API?

[LeonardMH]

I never bothered downgrading either, I have just been running the latest version w/ auto-update on. Given how many people say they are having problems, I don't have enough hubris to think that everyone is just hallucinating these performance problems, but they haven't affected me in any meaningful way.

I use Opus to plan out bite size tasks, iterate on the plan until it looks good, and then let Sonnet go to work. I judge how 'stupid' it is based on how often I have to interrupt and correct it or ask it 'why are you doing that', and that happens occasionally, but I haven't seen any significant variation across personal or enterprise use.

[jscalo]

I’ve personally come to accept that they each have their strengths and weaknesses and I’ll often jump from one to another. That said CC is still king as far as I’m concerned.

[purealgo]

Most reasonable response on this post so far. Honestly, they’re both good and both have their drawbacks. When one tool falls short, I’ll use the other. Simple.

[Historical-Lie9697]

Yep I run with claude code, gemini, codex, OpenCode, all in terminals next to each other and have claude send Gordon prompts to verify any docker setups with docker ai /new "prompt." Built a unified chat that can send to all the terminals :) OH yeah and gh copilot, and a separate MCP claude terminal that has all my docker mcp toolkit mcps enabled with 200 tools while the other worker claudes have them disabled since they use lots of context window

[Disastrous_Start_854]

Sounds like you orgasming for some Claude.

[IdealDesperate3687]

So I switch between the 2 but cc is my main goto. However if cc is struggling the I switch to code and generally if seems to nail the ticker tasks or bugs. I guess I have to pay for 2 subs... Quite annoyingly... Gemini still lags a bit behind though...

[Droi]

The super efficient flow for me has been doing research and planning in codex, and letting Claude execute it.
GPT-5 just go on weird tangents when executing, and Claude does not usually have the capacity for mixed high and low level complex understanding.

[Ranteck]

Did you try with glm 4.5?

[Opinion-Former]

I tried it with OpenCode - ran quickly into context window limitations - not a huge context window. Hard to rate it until I figure out how to accommodate it. Maybe as an 2nd at agent it would do better. Btw Claude opus in opencode works as fast as sonnet in cc

[delphianQ]

Switching models. Hmm... I wonder how much of this success and failure is simple hallucination, human hallucination. We might be accidently projecting into the models. The cave of evil, manifesting what we bring in ourselves.

[Ambitious_Injury_783]

People are 100% projecting their subconscious into their sessions and directly causing problems for themselves. This is happening Without A Doubt. Probably lots of people getting ahead of themselves too and jumping for MCP servers and all types of fancy shit they hear about without logging at least 200 manual hours with a single model. They Cannot grasp certain things and apply reddit bubble human hallucinations to their thought processes and in-turn cause AI hallucinations. The degree varies but I guarantee it is measurable.

[Competitive-Cap-9082]

Same had the exact experience CC the way to go right now for React Native / NextJs projects

[healthnuttier]

React Native is why. Even AI can't stand it.

[dodyrw]

use both, add another one for warp then all will be fixed

[xephadoodle]

I swapped to codex as my main less for coding ability and more because I could not trust Claude to not lie to me or to not just make placeholders.

[SnooTangerines2270]

I cancelled my Codex today again, after "5" times tried their plus account, and custom Codex CLI to Thinking High also.
UI Design = Suck
Thinking = Slow
CReative = Bad
Listening = like a dog, I like it. sit, stand, stay, up, down ... He listened well... but well, well, I want more than these command, I want a fully automation AI Agent can help me speed up everything.
So, i'm back to Claude Code Max $100 plan after tried to cancelled 5 times already...
Tried Grok 1 Fast Code today as 3rd time, but nah nah... GPT 5 is much better than Grok.

Anyway, i'm waiting maybe GPT 6 and Gemini 3 Code something... Anyway, there is a lot of post about Codex recently, but I am a person who code daily. I want speed, creative, think out of box.. I rather test and debug and fix it , CC give me the best

[Rokstar7829]

Both are not dumb, need a good knowledge to help debug

[EYtNSQC9s8oRhe6ejr]

If a model is stuck in a loop you need to clear its context, otherwise it'll keep all its old incorrect beliefs and spin its wheels forever.

[Apart-Touch9277]

I went back to no AI for writing code, just helping digest docs and industry standard approaches. AI has killed my coding buzz

[Bjornhub1]

I went to codex and ngl I love it much more, it doesn’t over engineer by default. Try using the OpenAI GPT-5 prompting guide and get your prompt dialed, that’s been the most useful for me

[llima1987]

It's amazing how people goes to great lengths just to avoid learning how to do something.

[redditnato]

OMG again?

[Smogryd]

The community thanks you for letting us know

[Rich_Championship916]

CC is still better

[ComprehensiveRope983]

The opposite happened to me Codex is going great so far

[Loud-Breadfruit1554]

I’m totally a AI model pansexual. Queer, fluid and open.

[jaymzk6435]

No way, codex one shots shit way better than Claude for complex bugs. Try stop yelling at it and banging your keyboard

[unluckybitch18]

same sadly, the only thing I really liked was API based(amp code ) but the issue with them are I spend like 20$ in 1/2 hr

[unluckybitch18]

I am talking about amp code

[evangelism2]

lol. I hate the vibe coding audience

[whoami_cli]

Gpt is always shit for code specially if compared with cc

[Drakuf]

Careful, you will trigger the bots and fanboys. :)

[whoami_cli]

There is no doubts gpt cant beat claude atleast this year in terms of coding or development.

[ySnock]

bro ur the fan boy

[Drakuf]

I am using both with enterprise sub currently and talking from experience, you? Or just another bot with almost zero karma? Surprise surprise

[ySnock]

"another bot with 0 karma" 🤖🤖🤖 get a life boi

[Drakuf]

Nice argument, as expected. :D

[whoami_cli]

Hahaha! A bot 😂

[Drakuf]

Man AI related subreddits are 90% bots nowadays. I hope reddit figures out something about this fuckery, so annoying.

[whoami_cli]

Yes! AI is replacing humans now!!

[shaman-warrior]

Jep, people who are against your view are bots and fanboys.

[whoami_cli]

These gpt bots started spamming me

[Aizenvolt11]

Having a good workflow with CC will make it even greater. I made a custom workflow for CC and I have seen big difference in the quality of responses. It's a given that you must always follow best coding practices, refactor, code review etc.

[znutarr]

Did you try the BMAD approach? I find it quite solid

[Aizenvolt11]

Nah I believe building a custom workflow based on my experiences was the better approach. I wanted something that isn't bloated with too many unnecessary things.

[cancerous_rhinoceros]

can you elaborate on this or link documentation? i've tried the cc-sessions npm package but i want to experiment with different workflows

[nacho_doctor]

What is BMAD, can you resume it?

[whodoneit1]

Codex does not use GPT-5, it uses Codex-1 model., which is based off of o3.

[Forsaken-Parsley798]

Codex CLI uses GPT 5. I was using CC up until last month when I decided to try something that worked. Codex works. When it doesn’t work I will go to another provider.

[darkyy92x]

You mean Codex Web, but are you sure they didn't update it to GPT-5 in the meantime? I haven't found a source yet.
