I used both.
Claude Code seems more generous with its quota, which is why I use it as my main driver.
That said, Codex does seem more capable, terse, and faster. There are some tasks that Claude can't handle but Codex can. One example was a WinForms binding/project deserialization bug. Sorry, the code is a mess, so even I couldn't quite figure out which part was causing which problem.
I initially thought the bug would be difficult to reproduce in a unit-test setting. Claude could only narrow down the problem and tell me where to put a breakpoint. Codex, on the other hand, actually managed to create a reproducible unit test first, and then used that to fix the bug. That impressed me.
The only problem is the quota. Codex burns through it very, very quickly, even when I'm just using Terra 5.6 Medium. That's basically why Claude Code remains my main driver despite Codex seeming more capable.
- jeffreyrogers 1mo agoThat's surprising to me. I recently switched from Claude to Codex because I was blowing through my Claude limits. With Codex I haven't been able to use up all of my usage on the 20x plan, with Claude and fable I could do that in a day. Codex is also a lot faster than Claude. I do think Fable is slightly better and can come up with better abstractions than Codex but trying to read it's output became really frustrating to me.
- nsoonhui 1mo agoThis is strange, but you were using Codex Terra, or Sol?
