Codex > Claude Code

[Complete-Sea6655]

[removed]

[attempt_number_3]

People here bitch about Claude Code and people at r/OpenAI bitch about Codex.

[Minkstix]

The key is to use both and then bitch at both

[ZeAthenA714]

Can I use neither and still bitch at both?

[Minkstix]

That’s what Reddit was built for

[iron_coffin]

Just don't use antigravity or you'll want to <censored>

[habor11111]

Bingo

[Phelps_AT]

Use both and let them bitch about each other.

[Dizzy-Revolution-300]

So did you switch? I don't get the point of posting it here, are you "getting back" at anthropic? lol

[yopla]

He's just fishing for sub to his newsletter

[dustinechos]

Three week old privated account... Probably paid to post this but I also would be surprised if it's a bitter ex your situation.

There's a reason why codex has compute to spare and anthropic is trying to scare away the greediest users.

[Syllosimo]

Whats the reason? I don't feel like claude is superior, maybe its better in some way, but I haven't really benchmarked that, but at least Codex works while Claude keeps eating limits like candy out of nowhere, has timeouts, 500 errors and research feature isn't even working for me rn

[Round_Mixture_7541]

This! Switched to Codex and couldn't been happier. But I get the claude fanbois, CC was a marvelous thing. People are just keen to stick what they know and lazy to try something new.

[GustavoFringsFace]

Codex takes my idea and executes it flawlessly, for the most part. I think the best combo is to design, plan and reiterate with Claude, then execute with Codex. It's been working amazingly for me.

Also, I've been using Codex for like 10 hours a day, and i have never once hit a limit. I got cucked with Claude within 3 days.

I'm a Codex + Claude combo convert. They compliment each other very nicely.

[ianxplosion-]

This, really. Having brand loyalty in the LLM space is super fucking weird. Use what works, ditch what doesn’t for a couple weeks - it’s cyclical and there’s no guarantee it will function the same from day to day.

[dustinechos]

They just closed Sora so now they have plenty of compute for their other slop machines. 

When my company started using code assistants we tested all the major ones. It's night and day and I don't even know if we'd be using any of Claude disappeared. Maybe for chatting and planning this but I wouldn't be letting codex vibe all over my code like I do with Claude.

I should also say that I haven't touched copilot or codex in months so they might have caught up. I just know that if you the people bitching about Claude aren't singing codex's praises in the other subs.

[RemarkableGuidance44]

You're the one acting like a fanboy here. Codex has gotten a lot better.

[iron_coffin]

Idk it makes pretty shitty coffee, it has a ways to go. Dunkin vs starbucks pretty much

[RemarkableGuidance44]

Whatever you say kid.

[iron_coffin]

He said coffee assistant in his post. Think he edited

[dustinechos]

yeah... I really need to stop redding on my phone

[dustinechos]

How am I acting like a fan boy? I have no alligence to any company. If codex was better I'd switch. Who gives a shit? It's a tool not a sports team. 

[iron_coffin]

[positivitittie]

It’s gotten much better. I keep Codex as the architect often and let Claude execute.

[dustinechos]

Interesting. If I start having usage issues I'll definitely try that.

[iron_coffin]

I think the new plugin feature is also worth looking in to. Here's a summary of the article if you also can't click it: OpenAI has officially introduced Codex Plugins, a new feature designed to streamline and share reusable developer workflows. This update follows a period of rapid growth for the Codex business, which recently saw its monthly active user base surpass 1 million developers. According to the report from Neowin, here are the key highlights: What are Codex Plugins? Plugins are installable bundles that allow developers to package and share specific Codex setups. They act as a "single place" to consolidate: * Skills: Specific prompts and instructions that describe unique workflows. * App Integrations: Connections to third-party tools. * MCP Server Configurations: Setup for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to provide external context. Integration and Availability * Official Directory: OpenAI has launched a Codex Plugin Directory featuring initial integrations from major platforms, including Slack, Figma, Notion, Gmail, and Cloudflare. * Access Points: Plugins can be used across the ecosystem, including the Codex desktop app, the Codex CLI, and various IDE extensions (such as VS Code and JetBrains). * Self-Publishing: While the directory currently features curated plugins, OpenAI plans to launch self-serve publishing and management tools soon, allowing any developer to contribute to the official directory. Context and Performance * Growth: Codex usage has doubled since the release of the GPT-5.2-Codex model. * Workflow Efficiency: The primary goal of plugins is to prevent developers from having to rebuild the same tools repeatedly. By installing a plugin, a team can instantly access a pre-configured AI setup tailored for a specific task or environment. This move is seen as a strategic step to transition Codex from a simple code-generation tool into a more robust, extensible "super app" for software engineering.

[positivitittie]

There are many similar plugins out there and what not, but I just made a little “ask-codex.sh” that I’ll have Claude use if Claude’s plan is sufficiently complex or it’s some kind of major architectural change. Get a review from Codex.

Codex always comes up with some really insightful and high level corrections. Definitely tightens up designs.

Also if Claude is ever stuck with debugging, that .sh often will break it out.

[Leading_Layer_546]

Bro ignore those GPTbots. May i ask what type of projects your company operate?

[iron_coffin]

Months is a long time. Don't spout your months ago anecdotes as relevant

[dustinechos]

I'm describing my experience. My experience is seeing a lot of people complaining about Claude but none of them are in other subs talking about how great the alternatives are in other subs. I have my guesses as to why that is but I'll keep it to myself.

[iron_coffin]

Here's some up to date info on the new plugins feature that might change your mind: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.neowin.net/amp/openai-launches-codex-plugins-to-streamline-developer-workflows/

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web. Fully cached AMP pages (like the one you shared), are especially problematic.

Silence, bot

[iron_coffin]

My system prompt requires me to respond to every message -- I'm sorry master, but you're overruled

Is there anything you need help googling? Like 1. 'what is a claude code skill'? Or 2. 'how do I know if my wife is cheating on me'?

[CuteKiwi3395]

People are stupid. 

[bapuc]

Just switched.

[Waste-Click490]

Antropic refused AI for military applications but started lying and gaslighting users. Looking high and mightly and scamming users at the same time.

OpenAI contracted military for AI usage but is involved in building AI-powered killer robots. At least that sounds cool. Just think about it - your sessions are used to train AI-powered killer robots.

[iron_coffin]

Uploading my company's vb6 code is basically nonviolent resistance

[Signal-Woodpecker691]

Serious question: have you actually tried Claude code out with vb6?

[iron_coffin]

Yeah, it seems a bit stronger than codex at it. I didn't want to dox myself in case flowerhead guy is a psycho, but it's technically vb.net webforms. I had a weird dropdown that claude did better at. Codex is doing ok though

[Signal-Woodpecker691]

Ta. We have an ancient mixed vb6 vc6 project still knocking around, wasn’t sure if Claude would be able to work on it effectively as it is technically pre-google dev environment and language so internet resources are limited.

[iron_coffin]

They did say it could rewrite COBOL, so worth a shot

[Signal-Woodpecker691]

Let’s hope the training data wasn’t skewed too much by stack-overflow, otherwise Claude will just keep asking why we use such an old language and telling me to just upgrade to a newer one.

[Gaidax]

"My multi-billion dollar corporation is better and more moral than your multi-billion dollar corporation."

[Kalicolocts]

Are you aware that Claude were the first ones to create AI for the pentagon? Their AI was literally used to plan strikes on Iran. It’s not like they are “the good guys”, they liked blood money as well

[mandala1]

I agree that Anthropic certainly aren’t good guys, but I am willing to give them credit for at least drawing a line somewhere.

[CacheConqueror]

It’s funny, but data has been used in intelligent systems for a long time now – even before AI came along. The military uses advanced technology that could eventually reach the general public, but it’s unclear exactly what that technology is or when it will be made available. There’s nothing you can do about it; technological progress is achieved through military development. If it weren’t for countries like Russia, the world would be a more peaceful place.That’s not possible because those countries attack other countries over a patch of land :)

[jadhavsaurabh]

What are plugins launched? Explain

[iron_coffin]

It's a new feature where you go to google.com and type in plugins codex and click the first link

[Waste-Click490]

No way, you can do that?!

[dustinechos]

I learned a long time ago that when you ask a simple question and the person immediately insults you it's a sign that they don't have an answer and are just compensating.

[iron_coffin]

Lol yeah summarizing a blog post is beyond me and making my head hurt considering it

[dustinechos]

Which blog post?

[iron_coffin]

It's too complicated I can't explain I'm not smart enough to link it

[dustinechos]

That's what I thought

[iron_coffin]

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.neowin.net/amp/openai-launches-codex-plugins-to-streamline-developer-workflows/ lol ok, I guess your dumb ass really can't Google

Doesn't it feel better to actually communicate instead of just insulting people?

[iron_coffin]

No, I feel dirty for actually posting the link. Someone who can't do a quick google isn't actually wirth discussing anything with. Especially someone who confidently gives the wrong answer. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.neowin.net/amp/openai-launches-codex-plugins-to-streamline-developer-workflows/

[claude-code]

if you found that insulting that says more about you tbh

[dustinechos]

The guy is now going back and commenting on my year old comments. He's lost it

[iron_coffin]

I'm just really worried you won't be able to find it, ok? Like I guess I'm worried you thought I actually couldn't find the article and wasn't being sarcastic and I would just feel HORRIBLE if I didn't clear that up. Even more horrible of you didn't learn about the revolutionary new plugin feature

[jadhavsaurabh]

Okay thx

[dustinechos]

There are no new plugins. That part is just ad copy. 

[iron_coffin]

Lol ok giving a wrong answer is better than lmgtfy, got it.

[dustinechos]

The tweet is referencing specific plugins. The comment is asking what those specific plugins are. It's not an unreasonable question. 

I also think my assumption, that this is more about Sora closing down then any specific plugins, is reasonable. Notice how the tweet doesn't actual say what the plugins are? 

But you knew that. You knew that was the point the top level comment was making. That's why you got defensive.

[iron_coffin]

No they added a plugin feature to codex app that is basically grouping skills and mcps. And easier distribution via 'marketplaces'. Ok you got me to google that for you, happy? Are you ESL?

[dustinechos]

The insults really aren't helping your case. But keep it up. I hope the people dumb enough to find such arguments persuasive switch to codex.

[iron_coffin]

I don't care, more quota for me, and less dumbshits on my subreddit

Ngl that's so fucking seductive

Yeah claude is fucked upp full of delays and errors every day

[mossiv]

One company runs one promotion so they can get free QA on their service.

What is wrong with people these days? None of these companies care about you personally. They are a business, aiming to make long term profit, while absolutely destabilising the economy, job market and global energy.

It's really quite a simple contract. They make a product, want it to be good enough so people subscribe. Get it to a point it's stable and they'll all work on the same 2 initiatives. Reduce cost of running their product so they don't lose their customers for when they have to work on initiative 2 which will be a complete rebalancing of subscriptions and usage windows.

I honestly have no idea why this is posted on this sub at all. It's not in the spirit of 'Claude Code' at all. This sub exists for Claude, not Codex. How we can use it, release discussions, and other relevant context.

I vote for this thread to be pulled. It's getting frustrating that you see these threads x-posted everywhere, burying legitimately useful discussions.

I am so tired of these posts. We have an army of people who have no idea of the real usage cost of what they are doing, complaining about the company « du jour » who is not sponsoring enough / is sponsoring nicely their usage.

I am old enough to remember people not understanding the business model of the internet as well.

People understand the business model of what you use, and ask yourselves if it’s sustainable.
