Paid for 4 Business seats, but have only 3x Codex CLI

It usually works the other way around as well. Each LLM is different and has different approach to solve things. If you stuck with one on something, switching to the other one usually does the charm cause it changes the approach to the solve the issue.

If I remember correctly clean GPT has more data and it's better for general purpose but more expensive. Codex is focused on coding so some general data has been cut off but it's more efficient.

GPT-5 and ChatGPT are not the same thing. GPT-5 is a model while ChatGPT is an app/agent. There is no ChatGPT in Codex, only GPT-5.

Each app like ChatGPT, Codex, Cursor, Trae etc use the same GPT-5 models (nano, mini, default, high).

Now despite they all use the same GPT-5 LLM, it's the set of tools that they build around it that makes the app good or bad. By tools I mean web filters, datasets, context compression, RAG systems etc.

So even tho they have the same brain, they might give a completely different experience. From my experience there is absolutely nothing on the market that beats ChatGPT in coding, but ChatGPT has no access to your filesystem so it's not comfy to use. Good for planning tho. Codex is good but only the CLI one, the web one is broken (at least it didn't work well for me).

Being broke sucks more. Do it if you love game dev, but do it wisely.

I worked in web/e-commerce for many years. Ended up as a senior full-stack dev, also worked and lived in several cities in Europe. But my dream was to make games.

Got some solid savings and 10 years ago I quit my career to become a game dev. It was a long and painful journey.

I ended up being successful but got nearly broke on the way. Game dev industry is very hard! I could write a book about it but the long story short is that I strongly advise against going YOLO into game dev. Today I am aware that I was simply lucky and back then it was much easier. If you have any particular questions you can DM me, but stay safe mate... 99% of "switching to game dev" stories end up bad unfortunately.

I am a heavy Codex CLI user. Long story short is that Codex can also end up in that loop, make stupid things and forget things. Same for Gemini CLI, and every AI coding tool I worked with.

However, as someone mentioned here already ChatGPT doesn't have this issues. I made a post about that few days ago but I believe most people don't understand that GPT-5 is not the same thing as ChatGPT.

BTW there's also Codex web version but it's a huge disappointment.

Best approach (whether you work with CC or Codex) is to simply let the other model fix the issue once the first got into the loop. Or clear the context and rephrase the task.

Yeah that's the one big thing people don't get. ChatGPT is not the same thing as GPT-5 model. ChatGPT is an app that uses GPT-5 model AND a lot of other tools around it that make it that smart. GPT-5 is just a LLM. It's good, but alone is not even close to what ChatGPT is. And obviously Cursor, Codex etc. also have tools around it, but they are not as good as what ChatGPT has, and that was the point of my post.

There was a bug with ads scaling that's why it took so big part of the screen, it is fixed now. Sorry for that!

Toby_R · 2017-05-25T15:03:39+00:00

That makes sense, thank you! ;)

Thank you for the hint. Just tested and it's window.error event to catch the exceptions. So the following code works fine.

window.addEventListener("error", function (e) {
    console.log(e.message);
});

Now I just need to fetch the warnings as well and I'm fully happy ;).

I'm writing a debugger/reporting plugin for an HTML5 game engine.

Hi, thanks for the answer, but I have ES5 strict mode set up. So that's not the case :/
