It might be your prompting.
My boss uses opus and gets good results when I use it always burns tokens. The other way is also true too I get great results with sol/terra but my boss does not.
- rebolek 1mo agoMaybe. But if Claude is fine with my prompts while Codex uses them as an excuse to burn tokens. I have nothing against the model, they are more or less on pair, it’s just that Claude is giving me more value for same money.
- vorticalbox 1mo agoIf Claude is working for you then stick with it! Happy you’re getting good value from Claude.
- ygjb 1mo agoOne of my challenges is that I often end up burning tokens trying to build the right solution rather than building a solution that is good enough and deferring the right choices until later. I have been actively working to change my expectations for building with AI to accept worse solutions to get things going rather than trying to solve everything at launch. This has been a recurring problem for me - as a security engineer catasrophization is a fundamental skill to finding vulnerabilities in complex systems, but makes me to conservative when building. For some of my leaders they are much better at saying 'good enough, ship it, and fix it later'.
