my issue with codex is it will decide to take forever and do to much for one line changes I should've done myself, and sometimes would make more changes than desired. Claude Code is much more expedient and keeps its scope narrow and rarely goes outside the bounds of my request.
- stavros 11mo agoI agree with this, I've hit it too, plus I hit Codex limits in a day whereas I haven't hit a Claude limit yet, but all of this is more than compensated for by the simple fact that the code that Codex writes will almost always just work. Sonnet is much less successful.
- embedding-shape 11mo ago> sometimes would make more changes than desired It's really easy to steer both Claude Code and Codex against that though, plop "Don't do any other changes than the ones requested" in the system prompt/AGENTS.md and they mostly do good with that. I've tried the same with Gemini CLI and Gemini seems to mostly ignore the overall guidelines you setup for it, not sure why it's so much worse at that.
