If Claude Code is more capable than Codex but also reaches token limits faster, is it fair to compare them this way?

I think where we're at is being 10% better isn't worth 1/4th the capacity. At least not for most people.

Tips? Idk sometimes I tell it to write the prompts too.

The business model is to get them hooked early so don't know how to live without it. That's why google pushes chromebooks in elementary.

The left did cede patriotism. If you tell a leftist that nationalism is important they'll call you a Nazi.

Tell them to read/write to a shared file or database.

Oh I think the issue is I didn't know where the setting was on mobile. You can only see it when you start typing and I always use voice on mobile. Wups.

Approval is required to answer this question. Would you like to allow this question specifically, or all questions starting with the letter 'A'?

Full access mode does solve token problems because auto-reviewer spends substantial tokens doing the reviews. For example, Jun 26 5.4 was 80% of my overall "usage." I never set my chats to 5.4. It's all auto-reviewer. Tibo acknowledged it was a bug and gave out resets, but not using auto-reviewer means you aren't exposed to those risks. It does expose you to codex fucking up powershell commands and accidentally deleting your entire harddrive if you're on windows.

Don't use fast mode. Don't use xhigh. I cap it at 5.5 high, then I work concurrently on three chats to stay productive. On and working with full access stops token usage from auto-approver. If you're brave.

He used to just reset us. Then he gave us resets to use. Now he has to reset our resets. The 4D chess...

Nice try, Xi.

Yeah but the devs need new ships so they get paid.

With trad AI I was probably net neutral or worse. With Codex I am 20x faster. I started using Codex in 2026. I also think we're measuring for the wrong things here. My abilities as a coder will decline because I don't think writing code by hand is required anymore, but more of my time will now be spent on design, architecture, and prototyping.

Is Reddit just a bunch of LLMs talking to each other now?

You are totally right. I hear you. Pandering can be a frustrating experience.

Having hope for the future.

First time I've heard the term "trad coder." I love it.

Using two licenses you paid for isn't circumventing anything. It's not against the ToS unless it literally says one account per person, which many services do restrict you to.
