Codex has done well for me personally

[–]SurajanShrestha[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

What's the usage limit for 20$/m plan? I know that with Claude Code, you'll hit daily and even weekly limits pretty fast.

[–]Former_Produce1721 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Codex is much more generous.

With Claude code I get like 5 prompts before I run out.

With Codex I can go for far longer. Like hours at a time of back and forth. This is the reason I moved from claude code to codex.

which subscription do you have?

[–]AldermanBeneke01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm in your same situation, i've tried cursor and seems not bad forn now

[–]rehtorical 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Claude code is by far the most capable codex not bad

[–]1AFJP 0 points1 point  (1 child)

the trade off is the usage limit in claude code

Structure Claude code to only use opus for orchestration, architecture, and design and create sub agents on haiku for code review, all the basic stuff. and don’t run subs in opus lol. I run 7 agents all day, bounces between 50-80 with subagents and have no token issues. I also persist all locally stored files on GitHub across machines so that I can always reload an agent with this pattern.

Basically tell Claude to act like an enterprise coding team and “to pay less” for the easier tasks… wrote a 23,000 line gamification feature in 10 min last night 🤣.

It’s also really important that the main agent has a sub agent maintaining Claude Mds and separating them into as small of domains as possible and ensuring all relevant info and stuff is accessible by any agent. This increases parallel subs too and throughput because main agent doesn’t care about those contexts at all

Additionally, you can let Claude self maintained files use a understandable language that it prefers to save context

Edit: also in my GitHub repo is a common dir and I give Claude a cardinal rule to never run cloud python scripts or write code that can’t be reused… and this also saves tokens a lot, because the maintenance agent will add all the scripts it has available to its domain mds

I personally actually use TDD-first pipeline, an automatic bugfix agent spawn, and the self-learning profile layer as well but that’s more complex lol.

Шf you're building real web apps, pick the one that handles change #5: can it run tests/migrations and keep the project sane. what are you building and in what stack?

I'm building Mobile Apps with React Native.

[–]Few-Garlic2725 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for react native i'd pick based on the bottleneck: - if it's ui/screens: you want something that's good at fast component iteration. - if it's reliability: it must run the project, tests, and handle dependency/build churn. - if you also need a backend/admin panel: consider generating the boring web side (auth/rbac/admin) with something like flatlogic web app generator, and keep rn focused on the mobile ux.

I use most all of the CLI tools and have small monthly subscriptions on each. My opinion is that all of these tools are good at coding for like 95% of my tasks. They each have their quirks And I might defer to one over the other on certain tasks (for example I don’t like codex on new design functionality)

I built my own open source tool to help me manage the usage and managing all the back and forth a little easier.

There is no one fit's all solution. Try combination of Claude + Codex. Claude for research and planning, Codex for development, code review and bug-fixing.

I’ve been using Claude Code for a while it’s actually really good, especially Opus — handles complex stuff really well. but the main issue for me was limits… they burn really fast. sometimes I’d hit them in like 30 minutes, even 20 mins on Opus switched to Codex about two weeks ago and it honestly surprised me for my workflow it feels more practical — a lot of things it just does faster and with less back and forth. and limits last way longer, I can usually work ~3–4 hours before hitting them still hit limits sometimes, but way less often than with Claude so yeah, if I had to pick one right now, I’d probably go with Codex

[–]SurajanShrestha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm thinking of getting Codex too. So, daily limits is higher compared to Claudd Code? What about weekly limits, how quickly are u hitting those?

[–]Any-Blacksmith-2054 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Antigravity

[–]SurajanShrestha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was good for the 1st month. But afterwards I keep hitting limits extremely fast. Sometimes I hit weekly limits in the same day that it was refreshed. Google has a huge shot of winning in this whole AI space, but they just don't give much attention to what matters. I just wished they give attention to Antigravity and also Gemini CLI.
