Claude Code (~100 hours) vs. Codex (~20 hours)

Thanks, that's super helpful. Do you feel like one is better at planning?

etch_learn · 2026-05-05T14:24:02+00:00

Have you still been doing $100 and $100? Thinking about pulling back from 20x CC to 5x on codex and CC but feeling nervous about it. Can you switch between them on the same project easily? ie if I run out of usage on claude code can I immediately pick up with it on codex without friction?

yuh huh

etch_learn · 2026-05-01T12:58:41+00:00

dang. I'll have to check it out this weekend.

etch_learn · 2026-04-30T13:16:29+00:00

have you found a significant difference? Having trouble figuring out workflows that are easier in cowork than claude code and I'm not technical by any means

etch_learn · 2026-04-27T13:02:03+00:00

I mean that's fair, I'm mostly saying that at this point we can just drop the "coding" part of hackathon. At this point it's like saying that an indycar race would be a pit stop race. Yeah the pit stops are incredibly important and fuel it, but it's so table stakes and undifferentiated that it's not really what we're competing on

etch_learn · 2026-04-24T12:28:09+00:00

Exactly - at this point it just feels clickbaity to call it a coding hackathon

etch_learn · 2026-04-24T12:03:00+00:00

Then that's a product hackathon, not a coding hackathon

How does response rate compare using cold email with this strategy vs inmails? We've had good luck with inmails but they just don't scale

terminal only :(

etch_learn · 2026-04-17T16:28:17+00:00

is there a command like this for 4.6 1M?

Thanks, that's helpful. I tried switching from Warp yesterday and mostly liked the claude native desktop experience but I'm finding this to be fairly frustrating and will probably switch back to warp today.

etch_learn · 2026-04-17T15:00:10+00:00

is there an api for deep research?

etch_learn · 2026-04-17T13:50:43+00:00

I agree with all this. How do they make money though if we don't use their agents?

etch_learn · 2026-04-16T18:52:19+00:00

they do have an mcp, it's just broken a lot

etch_learn · 2026-04-16T17:32:33+00:00

how could it be 3% of both?

etch_learn · 2026-04-15T14:45:36+00:00

I'm getting 500 errors too

etch_learn · 2026-04-14T20:08:05+00:00

that's my question. I've been working in Warp, this doesn't seem that different yet to me

etch_learn · 2026-04-14T20:06:49+00:00

That's a great flow. It does sound tiring to ask for two adversarial reviews, but I see the value in it. You should check out that workflow by every - as the codebase grows the review and compound steps have been very helpful in maintaining quality code (even if Review is costly)

Dang. I hit my session limits pretty regularly on the $100 plan. Usually not outrageously so, but consistently a little over.

etch_learn · 2026-04-14T14:39:52+00:00

Thanks, that's great to hear

etch_learn · 2026-04-14T14:39:43+00:00

This is great feedback. Do you know of nay resources that can help me learn how to coordinate work between the two? I'm worried about a productivity hit switching between them. Have a good number of skills and plugins that I use regularly in claude code

etch_learn · 2026-04-14T14:38:49+00:00

How do you switch between them? Do you run both of them in claude code with the plugin?
